Besides Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), the other universities partnering the project are: École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Delft University of Technology (TUDelft), University of Leiden, Université Catholique de Louvain, Wageningen University and Sorbonne University.

If you have any question you can contact us here: uc3mdigital@uc3m.es.
Access to the courses
Once the selection and admission process has finalized, the student will receive information from Wageningen University about how to access the course. This university will provide access to the learning resources on the platform according their conditions.
Tutoring, practical sessions and labs
The courses are taken online with total flexibility for the students. There will not be specific times apart from the delivery of assignments or quizzes. Even though it is not necessary to access everyday, it is advisable to take the courses regularly according to the guidelines provided by the teaching team.
In some courses of the EVE project it is possible to access tutoring sessions with the teachers so that the remote students have the same success choices than the local ones. If there are practical sessions or labs, and depending on the features of the courses, a solution will be found in order to ensure a learning experience as similar to the residential one as possible.
Exams
The students must do the activities, tests and exams programmed by the teaching team of the host university. The residential exams will take place at UC3M in the same date and time of the host university. The exam answers will be sent to the host university so that the teachers perform the evaluation.
In the information about the courses the exam periods (regular and extra) of the host university are simply outlined. The actual dates will be determined and communicated by Wageningen University once the courses have started.
Credit recognition
If you pass the course you will get a transcript, that is, a certificate, that must be attached in the credit recognition process at UC3M. More information on this page.
Remember that taking these courses is free, but you will only need to pay for the credit recognition at UC3M (25% of the credits price).
