ECTS credits

• ECTS stands for European Credit Transfer System.
• Each stage of your programme is worth 60 ECTS
  credits.
• These are made up of modules, which are worth 5
  or multiples of 5 ECTS credits.
• Each 5 credits is earned on the basis of 100
  hours work.
• This means that you are expected to work for 1200
  hours on each stage of your programme.
• Each semester is made up of
• 12 contact weeks
• 1 review week during which many self-study hours
  should take place.
• 2 weeks during which examinations are held.
• Dividing this by the 30 weeks, this is 40 hours
  per week.
• For each 5 ECTS credits, you should spend 6.66
  hours per week.

Where do the 100 hours come from?

• There are 12 contact weeks in each semester.
• If you sit a module that is held over a single
  semester, then the 100 hours should be completed
  during that semester.
• If you have 3 contact hours per week in a module
  for a semester, that makes up 36 hours.
• That would mean that you should do 64 study hours
  on this module.

What are self-study hours?

• Self-study hours can be made up of
• Studying for exams
• Completing assignments
• Researching around a taught topic.
• The way the self-study hours are used depends on
