What are ECTS Credits?

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a standard means for comparing academic credits across the European higher education area.

One academic year corresponds to 60 ECTS credits, which are equivalent to 1500-1800 hours of study. One ECTS credit generally corresponds to 25-30 hours of work.

This calculator helps you convert your workload hours into ECTS credits based on the standard conversion rates for different countries/regions.

How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Course Title (optional): Provide a name for your course or module.
  2. Enter Workload Hours (required): Input the total number of hours spent on the course, including lectures, seminars, self-study, and assignments. Valid range is 1-1800 hours.

  8. Export Options: Copy results to clipboard, export as CSV, or print for your records.

Example: A course with 150 hours of total workload in the European system would be worth 6 ECTS credits (150 × 0.04 = 6).
