European Credit Transfer System ECTS

In order to ensure that assessment is standardised and comparable throughout Switzerland and across Europe, students' performance is rated according to the ECTS system, in addition to being graded. Each module carries a certain number of ECTS credits. One credit is awarded for a workload of 30 hours (contact time and self-study). You are required to gain 60 credits per year. For a Bachelor’s degree, the total number of credits required is 180 and for a Master’s degree, a total of 90 to 120 credits is required (depending on the programme). This corresponds to a workload of around 1,800 hours per year.
