Credit points indicate the student workload that is generally necessary to fulfil the respective requirements and achieve the respective qualification objectives. In addition to regular and active participation in the courses that are part of a module, it also includes the entire preparation and follow-up of the course material, the preparation and elaboration of own contributions as well as the preparation for and completion of examinations.

One credit point corresponds to 30 hours of student work. In accordance with the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), 30 credit points are generally awarded for a semester and 60 credit points for an academic year.

Credit points are only earned if you have completed all the work associated with the respective module (course participation(s) and, if applicable, examination(s)). As a rule, no credit points are awarded for individual courses.
