How many ECTS do I need to graduate in total?

According to German higher education law, one needs 300 ECTS in total to graduate with a master’s degree. For example, someone with a 180 ECTS bachelor’s degree needs to complete a 120 ECTS master’s degree in order to reach 300 ECTS overall. In some countries an undergraduate degree is worth the equivalent of 210 or even 240 ECTS. In these cases we offer the option of taking a shorter, 90 ECTS program to reach the overall 300 ECTS.
