Finnish Credit System and ECTS
National credit allocation and accumulation systems were replaced by the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) 1 August 2005. In this new ECTS based system, the annual student workload amounts to 1600 hours. The concept of the student workload refers to the time required to achieve the set learning outcomes of a programme. A total of 60 credits (in Finnish opintopiste) will measure the workload of a full-time student during one academic year; a total of 30 credits is the full-time workload for one semester. Consequently, there will be no more credit conversion from the ECTS system to the national Finnish system or vice versa, as the credit system used is the ECTS system. |
