ECTS - European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System

Workload which students have to master in order to complete a study programme successfully

Workload consits of: time spent for lectures, seminars, independent study, preparation for and participation in examinations, as well as the (weekly) contact hours spent in courses with teachers

The ECTS system proposes that average students reach 30 credits per semester and 60 credits per year.

ECTS - European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System

The ECTS system proposes that average students reach 30 credits per semester and 60 credits per year.

1 credit corresponds to 25 real time hours (60 minutes/hour; 1 SH corresponds to 45 minutes):

contact hours and self-study

JEP_19099_2004; Podgorica, December 2005

ECTS

Lectures: 1 contact hour (SH) ~ 1.5 - 2 credits

Example: 1 contact hour = 2 credits

2 credits = 50 real time hours

1 contact hour = 10. 5 real time hours

self study = 39.5 real time hours[per lecture unit (45 min) 2.5 hours self study]

JEP_19099_2004; Podgorica, December 2005

ECTS

Introductory Seminars and Seminars: 1 contact hour (SH) ~ 0.5 - 1 credit

Example: 3 contact hours = 3 credits

3 credits = 75 real time hours

3 contact hours = 31. 5 real time hours

self study = 43.5 real time hours[per seminar unit (3x45 min) 3 hours self study]
