ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System)
A regular semester's workload consists of 30 ECTS. ECTS is based on the principle that 60 credits measure the workload of a fulltime student during one academic year. The European Credits Transfer System measures the total time that is required to take a subject: theoretical and practical classes, study, projects, etc. In addition, each ECTS credit is equivalent to 10 contact hours and 25 self study hours. Students are advised to take a minimum of 48 credits per year or 24 credits per semester with a maximum of 60 credits per year or 30 credits per semester.
The European Commission has published an ECTS User's Guide, which can be found at:

Courses
Choosing your curriculum is the first step in your STUDY ABROAD planning. UPV offers students to choose from over 100 English-taught courses which can be combined from different disciplines
Useful tips when choosing the courses:
● Most of the courses from the same “GRADE” (Minor/Mayor) give the student specialized knowledge in the chosen field of study. Those courses within the grade usually never clash/overlap in the timetable. On those courses you will follow all of your courses with the same students, thereby increasing the chance of friendships.
● We recommend you to choose more courses than needed due to possible overlaps in the timetable. Please select them with an order of preference.
● When selecting courses, please note that you must meet the specified entry requirements.
