Participants have the opportunity to have up to four ECTS credits (for a Main course only) confirmed by the University of Bamberg, based on a total workload of 30 hours for one credit.
On successful completion of the required work as detailed below, and following receipt of your grades from the instructor, the ECPR will send participants a credit certificate awarded based on the University of Bamberg's rules. It is for the participants’ home institutions to recognise these credits.
In addition to ECTS Credit certificates, all participants who attend 80% of their course classes will receive a certificate of attendance, provided that they attend the sessions and sign the attendance sheets.
Please note, if participants wish to obtain credits they must inform their Instructor on the first day of the course, when they sign the attendance sheet in class.
No ECTS credits are awarded for these courses (only a Certificate of Attendance).
ECTS credits are awarded for successful completion of the following:
The task(s) to be assessed by the instructor and required to acquire credits are listed below and must be graded (see below under tasks).
We ask instructors to make available at least two of these four options to the students.
Indicative Conversion Table
Each country or/and institution may have their own conversion tables for grades. This scale is merely designed to facilitate conversion and provide some first and general indication about the grading used by the Winter School instructors. Local institutions will convert the scale according to their own conversion tables.
