ECTS stands for European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System.

It is a system set up in European higher education to facilitate the mutual recognition of studies and diplomas. Basically, it’s a bit like a ‘common currency’ for higher education in Europe.

ECTS credits represent the volume of work required of a student to acquire the knowledge and skills associated with a given learning objective.

These ETCS credits facilitate student mobility. If a student validates a certain number of ECTS credits at one university, it is easier to have them recognised at another university in Europe.

If you do not have the CESS and you wish to continue your studies in Belgium but have already started higher education abroad?

In principle, you can be admitted to the studies of your choice, provided you can prove that you have passed the equivalent of at least 60 credits in your previous studies.
