ECTS & EHEA

ECTS & the European Higher Education Area. The international standard for academic credit recognition across Europe

What is ECTS?

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is the standard credit framework used across the European Higher Education Area. Each ECTS credit represents 25–30 hours of student workload — lectures, study, projects, and assessments combined.

A full academic year equals 60 ECTS credits. A Bachelor's degree typically requires 180–240 ECTS (3–4 years) and a Master's 60–120 ECTS (1–2 years). This workload-based system makes it straightforward for universities and recognition bodies to compare qualifications from different countries.

What is the EHEA?

The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) is an intergovernmental initiative covering 49 countries. Established through the Bologna Process in 1999, it aligns degree structures, credit systems, and quality assurance frameworks so that qualifications are comparable and recognised across borders.

ECTS is the credit system that makes the EHEA work in practice. When you apply to a European university or seek recognition of your degree in an EHEA country, institutions convert your transcript into ECTS terms to assess your qualification level.

Countries Using ECTS

All EHEA member states adopt ECTS as their standard credit system. Our ECTS Evaluation supports incoming transcripts from any country worldwide — we convert your credits to ECTS regardless of where you studied.
