What are ECTS?
The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) serves as a basis for the comparison of education systems and the recognition of credit points across European countries. One ECTS-Credit point is equivalent to an average workload of 30 hours. In addition to the courses, the workload also includes the time spent preparing for and following up on the courses, examinations and the time spent on self-study. ECTS points also form the basis for the recognition of study achievements and diplomas between higher education institutions.
