The subjects in your programme are worth a number of ECTS points. In the programme curriculum you can see how many ECTS each individual subject is worth.
ECTS
ECTS is an abbreviation of the European Credit Transfer System. It is an EU standard which, among other things, is used to transfer merit for modules at the same level of education run in different educational institutions abroad or in Denmark.
ECTS points rate a programme or a programme element in number of working hours. One semester equals 30 ECTS. This is a measure of the work hours you must put into your study as a student . For a full-time programme, the ECTS points correspond to 37 hours of work per week spread over preparation, assignments and classes. In a year, this includes normal holidays for full-time work. But ECTS points are NOT an indication of educational level, degree of difficulty or the number of classes.
