ECTS credits
Participating COINS Ph.D. students can obtain ECTS credits that might be used towards the taught component of their Ph.D. programme.
Students need to enrol in “IMT6004 COINS Workshop” at NTNU to be formally allowed to get ECTS credits according to the requirements in the course description. (If you have taken IMT6004 before, you can enrol in “IMT6005 COINS Workshop II” or “IMT6006 COINS Workshop III”.
Please indicate in your registration for funding or by email to info@coinsrs.no if you are interested in enrolling in IMT6004. Students get a transcript from NTNU documenting their participation and then need to present it to their local COINS member institution. All consortium members agreed that participation in IMT600x would be recognised as being eligible for consideration towards the taught component of the Ph.D. programmes.
