ECTS — European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System
The units used to measure study workload at European universities. A full academic year is 60 credits; a bachelor's degree is usually 180. They are also used to transfer courses from one university to another.
Where you come across it. Your study plan, transferring to another university, recognition of courses you have completed, scholarship conditions.
For a state scholarship you need to earn at least 30 credits a year — if you pass fewer, you will not get the scholarship the following year.
