If you are enrolled in a course activated according to the Ministry decree 509/1999, you can apply for a transfer to the corresponding course activated according to the Ministry decree 270/2004.

The transfer option is available from the academic year 2010/11, since all bachelor and master courses have now been reformed according to the Ministry decree 270/2004. You can select this option, in the
Student secretariat, upon enrolling in the years after the first. The form also contains the application for exam recognition. No pre-enrolment is needed.
