ECTS Keywords

The following quotation can be found on the ECTS website

“Ministers stress the important role played by the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in facilitating student mobility and international curriculum development. They note that ECTS is increasingly becoming a generalised basis for the national credit systems. They encourage further progress with the goal that the ECTS becomes not only a transfer but also an accumulation system, to be applied consistently as it develops within the emerging European Higher Education Area.”

From the Berlin Communiqué of Ministers responsible for Higher Education, September 2003 (Bologna Process).
