The list of courses offered by the Film Department »
You will need to choose a minimum of two courses in each term. Please let our Institute’s co-ordinator (Eszter Berec berec.eszter@btk.elte.hu) know which courses you are interested in. Please note, that courses are either offered as taught courses or as one-to-one consultations depending on the number of students choosing them. The Department is flexible in assembling curriculums for Erasmus students, and tries to meet their individual needs and interests as much as possible. As we have a different credit system we will tailor and certify ECTS to the courses and consultations you choose. All you need to do is to let us know how many ECTS credits you need in your home institution and we will calculate the ECTS credits individually for each incoming student. Please also note that each course lasts one term only, so you will be able to choose different courses in the two terms.

Your student card entitles you for entry into the University Library (http://www.konyvtar.elte.hu/eng/index.html) and the Faculty’s Library.
