In order to graduate from the Spring Program, you must obtain all 30 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System). You can also combine the Spring Program with the Fall one—in any sequence—to obtain 60 ECTS.
All components of the Spring Program relate to one of UNESCO's Four Pillars of Education. The modules have been classified as either 'L' or 'E'. In the 'L' modules you approach the Four Pillars from the perspective of yourself as a learner, while the 'E' modules involve you as (future) educator.
