ECTS – Credit Points (CP)

They are part of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS)

Credit points are awarded in addition to your grade. They measure the amount of time you have already (theoretically) invested in your studies. 1 credit point corresponds to approximately 30 hours of time. It is also referred to as workload. This doesn’t just refer to attendance time or the amount of time spent studying for exams. Preparation and follow-up for classes are also considered, as well as presentations and group meetings outside of class time. In short, this refers to the total time/work required for a module. You can find out how many ECTS points a module are “worth” from your module plan.

Typically, you need 180 ECTS credits to complete a bachelor’s degree. So, how many ECTS credits should you earn in one semester? Assuming a standard period of study of six semesters, you need to earn 30 ECTS credits per semester (900 hours). In terms of work hours, this equates to a total of 5.400 hours of work for a bachelor’s degree. However, there are also bachelor’s degrees with 210 or 240 ECTS credits. Of course, you can earn more or fewer than 30 ECTS credits per semester, as long as you have all the credits at the end of your studies. How many ECTS credits you can earn in one semester depends on the program and your individual situation (are you a quick learner, do you have to work while you study, etc.).

The average four-semester Master’s degree comprises 120 ECTS credits. This means that 30 ECTS credits must be earned per semester while adhering to the standard period of study. In terms of working hours, the Master’s program thus corresponds to a workload of 3.600 hours. As always, there are exceptions. For example, Master’s programs with a standard period of study of only two or three semesters and which are completed with 60 or 90 ECTS credits. In other words: less time-intensive Master’s programs. The combined total of the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Germany should always amount to 300 ECTS credits. This means that if you complete a Bachelor’s degree with 180 ECTS credits, you must add a 120 ECTS Master’s degree to obtain a full Master’s degree in Germany. In other European countries, shorter Master’s programs are often possible, meaning that together with the Bachelor’s degree, for example, you would only achieve 240 ECTS credits. This would generally make it impossible to pursue a doctorate in Germany. You would first have to make up the missing credit points.
