The ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) university credit is a system used in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) to measure the volume of work that a student must complete to pass a subject or a study program. This system facilitates the comparison and recognition of studies between different European institutions and countries, and its main characteristics in this Course are:
Workload
One ECTS credit is equivalent to between 25 and 30 hours of student work, including online classes, independent study, internships, practices, exams and other academic activities.
Duration
A full course is equivalent to 27 ECTS credits, which represents between 675 and 810 hours of work.
Transferability
ECTS credits allow for the transfer of qualifications and recognition of studies between European universities, facilitating student mobility.
Accumulation
Credits can be accumulated to obtain academic degrees, such as bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degrees.
Objectives of the ECTS system
Therefore, the ECTS credit system is a key tool for harmonizing and standardizing higher education in Europe, ensuring that degrees are comparable and recognized across all EHEA countries.
