Kort beskrivelse på engelsk

The European Credit Transfer System is a system based on the principle of mutual trust and confidence between the participating institutions of higher education. It is a system of merit transfers, which has been developed under the Socrates/Erasmus programme, as a method of improving the conditions for academic recognition of studies abroad. It is an absolute requirement for exchanges through the Socrates/Erasmus programme that full merit or full academic recognition is given, which in turn means that the study period, inclusive of examinations taken abroad, takes the place of an equivalent study period at home.

ECTS credits are a value between 1 and 60 allocated to course units to describe the students workload required to complete them. They reflect the quantity of work each course requires in relation to the total quantity of work required to complete a full year of academic study at the host institution.

It is up to the participating institution to subdivide the credits for the different courses. Credits are awarded only when the course has been completed and all required examinations have been successfully taken.

A full Bachelor of Social Work Programme gives in total 210 ECTS credits, or 30 credits for each semester.

This information package has been devised in cooperation between the Danish Schools of Social Work in support of the implementation of ECTS.
