European Credit Transfer System ECTS
To ensure uniform and comparable assessment, students' performance is rated according to the ECTS system, in addition to grading by marks. After each successfully completed module students are awarded a certain number of ECTS credit points. One ECTS credit is awarded for 30 working hours (self-study and class instruction). 60 credits are expected to be acquired per year of study, i.e. the total study time required for a degree is about 1800 hours per year.
