ECTS is a credit point system reflecting a student's workload in terms of ECTS credits or credit points. Students at Universität Hamburg can earn two to four credit points in their program's elective area for courses (semester or intensive courses) for which they have an eighty-percent attendance record and in which they have passed exams in accordance with ECTS regulations. The number of credit points depends on course level and number of classes. The schools determine whether to recognize given language courses in the area of general professional skills.

Please note: Your respective exam office or departmental office is responsible for documenting ECTS credit points in STiNE. Credit points earned at a specific level of any given target language may only be recognized once. Proof of proficiency for B1/3 is recognized for courses offered by the Language Center at Universität Hamburg.
