ECTS Credits

The University of Tuebingen applies the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). The ECTS is a system for international recognition of academic achievements and transfer of study credits. Thus, study and examination performance achieved during a study abroad can be recognized by the home university.

At the University of Tübingen 1 ECTS equals a workload of 30 hours. The workload comprises regular presence and active participation in the courses, private and independent study, preparation of projects and examinations (e.g. written test, oral presentation, essay). The attendance at a course of 45 min will be counted as 1 contact hour (60 min).

ONLY Tübingen students: for all courses, ECTS points can be accrued for the Global Awareness certificate (see https://uni-tuebingen.de/de/204780).

Transfer of Credits

Participants of the Tübingen-Virtual Intercultural Program who would like to transfer credits at their home university are strongly recommended to contact their Academic Advisor and ask for credit and grade approval. Course descriptions are available at this website.
