ECTS

The University of Potsdam uses the term “Leistungspunkte” (LP), which equals ECTS credits (LP = ECTS). ECTS is based on the following points:

  • 60 credits or points for an academic year,
  • 30 credits or points for a semester and
  • 20 credits or points for a trimester.

Credit can only be given if all requirements, including the necessary exams, have been fulfilled. However, this does not preclude exceptional regulations.

Important to know: Individual courses at the University of Potsdam are grouped into modules. For successfully completed modules you will receive achievement points (“Leistungspunkte” in German, or Short “LP”). 1 LP = 1 ECTS. The number ECTS/LP for individual courses varies. As a rule of thumb (no guarantee) you can receive about 3 LP for a “Seminar” and 4 to 6 LP for a “Lecture” (in German: “Vorlesung”), which are the two most frequent course formats.
