ECTS methodology
The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) represents a unique system of quantitative evaluation of the student's work invested in the acquisition of knowledge, abilities and skills provided by the study program and each subject within that program. ECTS are common "currencies" in the European Education System, where it is based on the student's work verified by an exam.
With the introduction of ECTS points, it is possible to measure the total workload of the student, which is necessary for mastering the material and achieving the learning outcomes of individual subjects. The student's workload includes participation in active teaching (lectures, exercises, practical work and consultations) and individual work (individual study, homework, seminar papers, writing essays and reports). The accepted convention is that 60 ECTS points represent a quantitative measure of the workload of an average student in one academic year, i.e. 30 ECTS points in one semester.
One ECTS credit corresponds to 30 hours of student work, and a student works 40 hours a week on average. This means that the student's workload is 1,800 hours per year, where about 40% of the hours are related to active teaching, while the remaining 60% are related to the student's individual work.
ECTS credits are assigned to each teaching component of the study program (subjects, student practice and thesis). Points for a particular exam are awarded to the student only when he passes the particular exam or defends his thesis.
The application of ECTS credits promotes the mobility of students in the European area of higher education with the possibility of transfer and accumulation of credits acquired in different institutions and facilitates the recognition of diplomas among European countries.
