ECTS Guide

The European Community promotes cooperation between universities with the aim of improving the quality of teaching for the benefit of students and higher education institutions, and considers student mobility an essential element of this cooperation.

The recognition of studies and qualifications is a prerequisite for the creation of an open European area in education and training, where students and teachers can move freely. To this end, the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) was developed as a pilot project to facilitate the academic recognition of studies completed abroad.

The ECTS is a tool for transparency, designed to establish the necessary conditions for collaboration between institutions and expand the range of options offered to students. The ECTS is based on three basic elements: information on study programs and student results, mutual agreement between partner institutions and students, and the use of ECTS credits. These three elements are operationalized through three key documents: the information catalogue, the application form/study contract, and the academic certificate.

Full academic recognition is a sine qua non for student mobility within the framework of the Socrates/Erasmus programs. It entails recognizing that the period of study abroad is equivalent to a comparable period of study at the home institution, despite differences in program content.

The ECTS is based on its voluntary nature and mutual academic trust among partner institutions. It also guarantees transparency through the following instruments:

1. ECTS credits represent, in the form of a numerical value for each course unit, the volume of work that the student must complete to pass each of them.
2. The information catalog provides students and teaching staff with useful information about the centers, faculties and departments, their organization, and their curricula.
3. The academic certification presents the student's academic results in a clear, complete, and easily transferable manner between both institutions.
4. The study contract describes the study program the student must follow and the ECTS credits that will be awarded once the required conditions have been met.
