Credit System
ECTS credits are a numeric value (from 1-60) attributed to each individual course. They represent the amount of work required to complete that course. ECTS credits are a relative not absolute representation of the work load for each student. 60 credits represent the work load for an academic year, so 30 credits usually equal 1 semester.

-Choose the courses according to the field and level you expressed in your application online
