Grades & Transcripts
The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a tool designed to make it easier for students to move between countries and recognise their academic qualifications and previous studies. It enhances study programs' flexibility, comparability, and transparency for students from different countries. Moreover, the ECTS framework offers relaxation in studying the course and reduces the workload. For that, several countries in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) have adopted ECTS as their national credit system.
EIMT's standard academic year refers to 60 ECTS credits of full-time study or work. Usually, these 60 ECTS credits are broken down into several smaller modules or courses.
1 ECTS credit = 26 hours of work → 60 ECTS credits = 1560 hours of work
To obtain the 60 ECTS credits, one must require 1560 hours of work and complete the required workload and pass the course with an approved grade.
26 Hours of work include:
- Lectures & Tutorials
- Self-Study & Independent weekly exercises
- Assignments
- Case Study Workshop or Project Work
- Writing of Term Papers, Preparations for Case Studies
- Term Paper Presentations
- Seminar
- Preparation for exams and Writing Exams
