Based on the program, the university students who will attend the school, could ask the recognition of university credits (Credito Formativo Universitario – CFU) to their university. One credit corresponds to 25 hours of activity (individual study, classroom educational activities, internships, etc.) and it exactly corresponds to 1 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), the measure for recognition of credits on a European basis.
