*4.1 Number of credits equivalent to one year of full-time studies

ECTS Credits

For the below questions you must convert the credits into the ECTS credit scale. ECTS stands for the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System, where 60 ECTS credits corresponds to one full year of studies. If your home university does not offer an official conversion of your credits into ECTS credits, estimate the corresponding ECTS credits for each of your courses through the following formula: 


ECTS credits for course Y = 60 x (credits for course Y at your home university) / ( Number of credits equivalent to one year of full-time studies). 

Example: A course from an Indian university has 5 local credit points. The total number of credit points per year stated in the transcript is 32. Then the equivalent ECTS is 60*5/32 = 9.4 ECTS. 

*4.2 ECTS credits in total required for your bachelor's degree

This question is compulsory

*4.3 ECTS credits passed so far

This question is compulsory

*4.4 Your local grading system

This question is compulsory

*4.6 Lowest passing grade for obtaining the degree

This question is compulsory

4.7 Grounds for GPA calculation

Is there an official calculation of an overall grade point average (usually referred to as GPA or simply CGPA) at the certificate issued by your university?

4.8 Relative performance

Convert your GPA into a relative percentage value using the following formula:

Relative performance = 50 + 50*(GPA from 4.7.1 - lowest grade for degree from 4.6) / (Highest grade from 4.5 - lowest grade for degree from 4.6)


Check: Your calculation should lead to a numeric value in the range [50...100]

4.9 Additional information concerning grading systems

If a significant amount of your credits (>10%) uses a different grading system than specifed above (for example if you have been on exchange studies or if your university has changed grading system during your bachelor studies), please specify university and number of credits that have not been included in the calculations done above.

Computer Science: courses (of at least 5 ECTS credits each) in both programming and algorithms and data structures.

Instructions for entering total credits and specific course information 

Total credit number 
For the below questions on total credits you must use the ECTS credit scale. Use the same conversion formula instructed in section 4.

ECTS credits for course Y = 60 x (credits for course Y at your home university) / ( Number of credits equivalent to one year of full-time studies). 

Example: A course from an Indian university has 5 local credit points. The total number of credit points per year stated in the transcript is 32. Then the equivalent ECTS is 60*5/32 = 9.4 ECTS. 

Listing specific course information
Please provide one line per course, and for each course provide the following 5 pieces of information: 1) course code, 2) course name, 3) the number of local credits of the course, 4) your local grade for the course, 5) the URL to the official English course description.

Separate each of the fields with a semicolon (;). If you are missing information for a field, put a dash ("-") in that field. If you are specifying a course that you have not yet completed but have scheduled to complete before the actual admission, put the word "ongoing", in the field for the grade (4). Please be careful about the defined syntax. If you get it wrong, we may require you to make a new and corrected submission. We suggest that you create the text in your preferred tool of choice and then copy/paste it into the answer box.
