ECTS - European Credit Transfer System
ECTS credit is a unit that expresses all the work (theoretical course, practice, seminar, self-study, exams, assignments, etc.) that a student must do in order to successfully complete a course. In ECTS, 60 credits are given for one academic year (two semesters) of education and 30 credits for one semester (semester or semester). In some higher education institutions, there are 3 semesters in 1 academic year. In such cases, 20 ACTS credits are awarded for each semester.
The most important factor to be considered in determining the ACTS credits for the courses is that the sum of the credits of all the courses to be taken in an academic year must be 60. ECTS credits should be given as whole numbers and defective numbers such as 1.63 should be avoided. However, fractional numbers can be used in very imperative situations. ECTS credits must be given to all compulsory and elective courses. ACTS credits should also be given to studies such as thesis work, project work or internship, which must be taken in order to graduate from the program followed.
Is There a Relationship Between ECTS Credits and Course Hours? From one point of view, the answer to this is "yes". However, ACTS credit is not only dependent on course hours; It should be kept in mind that the course covers the entire course load.
Class time is directly related to workload and therefore ECTS credit if a course is taught classically.
A five-credit course may consist of 24 hours of theory, 6 hours of practice, and 60 hours of self-study at one institution, while at another institution it may consist of 24 hours of theory, 36 hours of practice, and 30 hours of self-study. The student can achieve similar gains with the same workload in both institutions. However, it should be noted that although the ECTS credits in both institutions are the same, the total course hours are different.
The situation is more complex for courses that consist of lab or design work under the supervision of supervisors. An hour of theoretical lecture and an hour of laboratory are by no means equal. Higher education institutions generally consider one hour laboratory as 1/4 or 1/2 theoretical course hour. In the crediting of the project works that are not carried out under the supervision of a supervisor, the number of weeks that the project will be completed as a result of a full-time study should be taken into consideration.
