Recognition of prior learning
Following the implementation of the Bologna Process and the consequent legislation regarding the mobility of students among degrees and higher education institutions, prior learning must be recognized and credited. The prior learning concept comprises all the previous learning/training undertaken in other higher education study cycles in national or international institutions (crediting of certified training), as well as previous professional experience and any post-secondary school training or education. As such, the I.P.B. promotes the crediting of the student’s prior learning when arriving at the institution. Aiming at a quick and full integration of the student in his/her new education programme, the recognition procedures must be submitted when enrolling at the I.P.B..

6 Semesters (3 years). 20 Weeks of study, per semester, full-time (40 per year). 40 total Hours per week. 810 total Hours per semester (1620 per year). 180 ECTS Credits (30 per semester); 1 credit corresponds to 27 hours. It includes a final project comprising 6 credits. The holders of this qualification are admitted in ANET – National Association of Technical Engineers. Professional titles are awarded by this institution, according to its internal rules. The programme is included in the FEANI INDEX - European Federation of National Engineering Associations.
Requirements
The admission of international students to Bachelor degrees in the I.P.B. is made via theInternational Student Status. The applicants must be holders of a secondary education course or legally equivalent course from any foreign country, issued by a legal authority that attests the approval in that level of education, and that confers them the possibility of applying to a higher education course in their country.
