"ECTS Credits" are a value allocated to represent the amount of work that each student is supposed to do for each course.
They denote the amount of work that each course represents in relation to the entire volume of work required to successfully achieve a full year of academic study, that is lectures, tutorials, practicals, seminars, work in the library or at home and exams or other methods of assessment
Within the framework of ECTS, 60 credits represent the amount of work for one full year of study, 30 credits correspond to one semester and 20 credits to one term of study.
