Diploma, Transcript and ECTS Credits
Upon completing a stay on Metàfora’s Studios Arts Programs the student receives a detailed transcript and a Course Certificate.
The Course Certificate or Diploma is subject to attendance, work produced, timely hand-in and satisfactory grade on the written paper.
The transcript reflects hours (ECTS credits) and grades of all the classes which the student has attended. The transcript also reflects studio work and programmed activities like Recent Art History and artwork presentations. This document is issued only to students whose attendance to the course complies with formal attendance norms.
Although Metàfora is an independent institution and is not university accredited, we facilitate convalidation by other institutions by counting our credits according to ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), where 1 ECTS credit equals 25 hours of the sum of lective hours plus homework.
As with all European universities and schools for further education, a full time academic year amounts 60 ECTS. This includes all education activities, individual studio practice, writing and academic work, exhibiting and preparing final dissertation (3rd year project).
Classes in which the student has been absent for more than 20% will not appear in the transcript. Short term student can request a transcript.
