ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System)

The European system of measuring and comparing studies (ECTS) was developed to provide an instrument
for increasingly more common international studies in the EU region. It helps to evaluate studies completed
in another country and to transfer the credits to home institution.

The ECTS Credit System also helps to plan studies: you are able to estimate the quantity of work each
course requires with the help of ECTS. The ECTS Measurement System is based on the quantity of work
required to complete a full year of academic study.

1 ECTS credit equals 26 hours of study work / learning activities from student. Most online websites tells how
many hours they offer or request learning time. The size of the courses offered by online web sites differ from
each other.
