Course integration
Assessment of the student's achievements
For the recognition of study periods, it are awarded credits (ECTS), based on workload, to students after completion of all the learning activities as well as of singles FUs, and the successful assessment of the achieved learning outcomes.
The ReCity is biennial and has a workload per academic year of 1.500 hours, 3.000 hours as total amount and its ECTS allocation is based on the “ECTS Key Feature of Education and Culture DG”.
The implementation and use of ECTS by HEIs involved in the ReCity is guarantee through Quality Assurance.
Credits awarded in reCity may be transferred into another programme offered by the same HEIs involved or other institutions. To guarantee successful credit transfer, credits are fully recognition among HEIs involved and there is a flexible approach to recognition of credits obtained in another context on a base of ‘Fair recognition’ rather than perfect equivalence. Such ‘fair recognition’ is based on the learning outcomes and follow a transparent process.
ReCity include Lifelong Learning, in order to strengthen its social dimension. Non-traditional learners, i.e. people with possess valuable competencies acquired outside HEIs, through other types of learning activities, work or life experience; adult learners and/or employers, those are “stand-alone” training without necessarily pursuing a specific qualification; students have achieved learning outcomes in other timeframes; the associated ECTS may be awarded after successful assessment, validation or recognition of these learning outcomes.
ReCity include Continuing Education, offering two different routes: two-years full-time students and up to 5 years through accumulation of FUs for part-time students. Individual FUs may be taken as free-standing training elements, and accumulated through intermediate Certificate as well as the Joint Degree and Joint Diploma Supplement. The part-time jobs defined according to the requests received are limited and reserved for practitioners, targeting high profile individuals within the marketplace those consist of senior decision makers with purchasing responsibility from around the world, including architects, building engineers, building surveyors, contractors, quantity surveyors and consultants, etc., who want to broaden their knowledge through academic study. They are excluded from entitlement to the scholarship. Moreover, are created ‘assessment facilities’ for advice, counselling and recognition. These facilities have the form of a joint centres for several institutions. In this way, the reCity contributes to make Lifelong Learning and Continuing Education a reality.
ReCity use “ECTS key documents”, in order to ensures transparency and enhances quality, as follow: Course Catalogue, Student Application Form, Learning Agreements, Transcript of Records, Diploma Supplement and a computerised Student Records System, which keep track of learners’ achievements, integrating the data contained in the other documents.

ReCity use “ECTS grading table” as the procedure of comparison among different grading systems.
In order to improve international ‘transparency’ and to facilitate the academic and professional recognition of qualifications, the HEIs involved, agree to award a Joint Diploma Supplement (JDS) attached to the Joint Degree (JD).
At the end of the two integrated pathways of UFs that compose the reCity, a supplementary bridge between research, education and labour market is offered by an internship and a research-based thesis. Students may choose a topic for their thesis that aligns with the research interests of staff in the Master course, or relates to any aspect of their employment, or interests that they wish to develop further.
For internship, (European students are eligible for a mobility option in a third country partner, too) each student has a personal supervisor on site in the workplace and a shared tutor/mentor.
