What is ECTS?

The European Credit Collection and Transfer system (ECTS) has become a common language in the European Higher Education Area Education and training programmes. ECTS credits, learning outcomes, learning-teaching methods and evaluation techniques are integral parts of a whole in programs that are prepared with a student-centered and work-load-based educational philosophy.
ECTS credits are a system based on the workload required to achieve the learning outcomes determined according to the objectives and objectives of the program and are a measure of the time spent by the student on all activities in and out of the course.

Aims Of The AKTS

Facilitate student mobility

To ensure that students ' education abroad is recognized in their own country

Transparency of study programmes and provision of sample application rules based on student success in order to regulate academic recognition
The opportunities that ECTS provides to students
It helps in the academic recognition of credits and/or degrees received in education abroad.
It allows students to stay abroad for a short period of time, but if they wish, at the higher education institution they have gone to until they complete their program.

Workload and ECTS

There is a total workload of 17 weeks in one semester including 14 weeks of Education (70 working days), one week of preparation for exams and two weeks of final exams. Considering that a student's duty is to be a full-time student, and considering a student to be a full-time worker, he or she must work 45 hours. Accordingly, it is calculated how many hours of AKTS will come against the workload.
The total study time of a student in a semester is calculated in hours as 17 weeks/semester x 45 hours/week = 765 hours/semester.
1 ECTS credit is equivalent to 25.5 hours of work load. A student must spend 25.5 hours/semester in order to obtain 1 ECTS credit.

Factors Affecting Workload :
Targeted learning outcomes
Selected learning and teaching methods
Selected measurement / evaluation methods
Curriculum structure and consistency
Student's ability and effort
Duration of study

Preparation Of Curriculum;

Associate Degree Programs total 4 semesters x 30 ECTS / semester = 120 ECTS
Undergraduate programs total 8 semesters x 30 ECTS / term = 240 ECTS
Master's programs total 4 semesters x 30 ECTS / semester = 120 ECTS
Doctoral programs total 6 or 8 semesters x 30 ECTS / term = 180-240 ECTS

AKTS, aynı zamanda, yükseköğretim kurumlarına, öğretim programları ve ders içeriklerinin iş yüküne bağlı olarak kolay anlaşılabilir bir yapıda tasarlanması, uygulanması, gözden geçirilmesi, iyileştirilmesi ve bu sayede yükseköğretim programlarının kalitesinin geliştirilmesine ve kalite güvencesine önemli katkı sağlayan bir sistematik yaklaşım sunmaktadır.

The implementation of ECTS has, since its introduction, has been found wide acceptance in the higher education systems across the European Countries and become a credit system and an indispensable tool supporting major aims of the Bologna Process and, thus, of European Higher Education Area as it makes teaching and learning in higher education more transparent across Europe and facilitates the recognition of all studies. The system allows for the transfer of learning experiences between different institutions, greater student mobility and more flexible routes to gain degrees. It also offers a systematic approach to curriculum design as well as quality assessment and improvement and, thus, quality assurance.
