The four semesters are organised in modules according to the European Bologna standard. Each module consists of a number of e.g. seminars, lectures, workshops, study trips, tutorials, and other forms of teaching as detailed in the relevant module syllabus; once you have successfully completed a module, you are assigned a specific number of ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credit points. Each semester you need to gain 30 ECTS (120 ECTS in four semesters); one ECTS credit point refers to a workload of 25 to 30 hours (including contact hours, reading, assignments and independent study).

What is the ECTS scheme? ECTS is the European Credit Transfer System, a tool of the European Commission for making studies and courses more transparent. It helps students to move between countries and to have their academic qualifications and study periods abroad recognised. ECTS allows credits taken at one higher education institution to be counted towards a qualification studied for at another.  ECTS credits represent learning based on defined learning outcomes and their associated workload.
