ECTS Info for Erasmus students
Credit points (ECTS) are awarded for successful participation in a course. Successful participation in a course requires the acquisition of a certificate of achievement. This must be assessed with at least "sufficient" (4 points). You must ask the course lecturer for an examination - students at the Faculty of Law only conclude a few lectures directly with an examination.
Each individual course is assigned 1 to 8 credit points per semester hour (SWS), depending on the difficulty and workload. The following types of courses are to be distinguished in the allocation:
| Course | |
| Lecture-accompanying working groups: | 1 credit per SWS |
| Lecture: | 1 credit per SWS + 4 credits |
| Exercise/seminar with term paper: | 1 credit per SWS + 6 |
| Block seminar with term paper: | 8 credits |
We recommend that you focus on attending lectures, that is where it is easiest for you to gain ECTS.
