In accordance with the UdG's Recognised credit transfer regulations, the bachelor's degree curricula include up to 6 academic recognition credits which you, the student, can request for taking part in various different university activities, among which are voluntary and cooperation activities.
*Dual bachelor's degree students should check from the secretary’s office at their Faculty/School whether they can obtain academic recognition credits.
The Social Commitment and Professional Guidance Unit offers you:
Voluntary activities are carried out in collaboration with voluntary organisations and NGOs that work on the ground or at an international level. That means students get the chance to work on the ground and in a team at an interdisciplinary level.
Volunteering areas: communication, culture, disability, education, health, social, sustainability, and summer activities.
However, you cannot spend any more than 6 hours/week doing voluntary work activities.
How can I obtain credits?
- By volunteering for 25 hours you will obtain 1 credit.
- By volunteering for 50 hours you will obtain 2 credits.
- By doing small volunteer projects lasting 5 to 10 hours. You accumulate these volunteer hours throughout your degree programme.
