ECTS credits
The workload for all study programmes at the University of Antwerp is expressed in ECTS credits. All courses have been allocated a number of credits, reflecting the time that the average student will need to attend and complete them. The credit accounts for the total of all study activities for one course: lectures, seminars, practicals, revising, preparing for examinations, writing essays, etc. Most courses at the University of Antwerp are assigned an ECTS value of three or six credits. Three ECTS equals a workload of 75 to 90 hours.
We strongly advise exchange students to sign up for a minimum of 21 credits. You can take up to 30 credits per semester.
Attention: The second examination period takes place at the end of August and beginning of September, this is also the case for exams of the first semester. Check the academic calendar for specific dates. If you need to resit any of your exams, contact the international coordinator of your study programme.
