ECTS Credits

The "ECTS" credits represent the volume of work that the student must provide for each course unit. They express the amount of work that each course unit requires relative to the overall volume of work required to pass a full year at the institution.

• 30 credits equivalent to one semester.

In Nancy, a credit corresponds to approximately 30 hours of personal work. The ECTS system guarantees the student the recognition of his period of study abroad through the transfer of the credits which are granted and validated by the exchange of transcripts between the home university and the university reception.
