I. The Concept ECTS is developed by the Commission of the European Union in order to provide common procedures, thus guaranteeing the academic recognition of studies abroad. ECTS provides a way of first measuring and comparing course contents and grades and then transferring them from one institution to another. ECTS is a system based on the principle of mutual trust and confidence between the participating institutions of higher learning. Three main rules have been established to reinforce this principle: (1) information on available courses (2) bilateral agreements between the home and host institutions (3) the use of credit points to indicate students' workloads Participating institutions implement these rules through the use of information packages (available at the IRO and your department), which provide general information on the host institution, as well as detailed descriptions of available programmes, courses and credit allocation. Learning Agreements between the student and the home and host institutions contain the student's personal information and a description of the intended study abroad programme. Finally, the Transcript of Records shows the student's academic achievements prior to and after the study abroad period. II. ECTS Credits & Grading Scale ECTS is a credit system based on student workload. The credits represent a value allocated to course units which indicate the amount necessary to complete them. They reflect the quantity of work that each course requires in relation to the total amount of work required to complete a full year of academic study at that institution (work may be in the form of lectures, practical activities, seminars, self-directed studies - in the library or at home - and examinations or other forms of assessment). Thus ECTS credits represent a relative value. According to ETCS, 60 credits represent the workload of a full year of study; normally a student earns 30 credits for a semester and 20 credits for a term. It is up to the participating institutions to subdivide the credits for the various courses. ECTS credits should be allocated to all available courses, whether they are required or elective. Practical placements and optional courses which form an integral part of the course of study also receive academic credit. Non-credit courses, however, may also be mentioned in the transcript of records. Credits will only be awarded for completed courses in which all required examinations have been successfully taken. Examination and assessment results are expressed in a variety of different grading systems in Europe. In order to enable institutions to interpret grades awarded to ECTS students, a corresponding grading scale has been developed. An ECTS grade provides information on the student's achievements in addition to the institutional grade, but it does not replace the local grade. 2
