Study Load
Study load is expressed in terms of European Credits (EC) in a system known as the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
A Bachelor's programme covers:
- 60 credits (EC) per year
- 4 years x 60 = 240 credits (EC) for the complete programme
- one EC is equal to a study load of 28 hours
Study Recommendation
Please note! The information below applies to the 2025-2026 academic year. The exact details of the study advice for the 2026-2027 academic year are not yet known. We expect to be able to provide more information in the spring of 2026. As soon as the information is available, you will find it on this page.
We expect from you that you will have accumulated 60 credits (EC) in your first year, without being behind at the start of the second year. If you have less than 48 credits, then you will receive a negative urgent study recommendation at the end of your first year. This means that we will urgently advise you to stop your studies and discuss your future with your study coach. This recommendation is not binding.
