ECTS ACCREDITATION

The European Credit Transfer System defines a full university-level courseload as having 60 credits. In Europe, a full courseload usually characterizes 1500 to 1800 hours of schoolwork a year; a single credit therefore represents between 25 to 50 hours of schoolwork.
ECTS credits can only be obtained after achieving the entirety of the required work. The credits are attributed to all components of a study program (modules, classes, stages, essays, theses, etc.). They are proportional to the quantity of work each activity requires in order to be completed as compared with the total work necessary to successfully achieve one full year of study.

Notation scale

The ECTS notation scale classifies student performances on a statistical basis. For this reason, statistical data on student results are essential to applying the ECTS notation system. Grades are granted to students having passed according to the following scale :
A 10% best students
B 25% next
C 30% next
D 25% next
E 10% left.

At the COE

The ECTS is used to evaluate a student’s performance. At the end of the cursus, the student obtains a diploma in osteopathy, to which we add a diploma supplement. The ECTS presents undoubtable assets in the pedagogical and communication spheres ; its inclusion in the COE program will help improve the quality and intensity of exchanges between our establishment and other European schools and universities. In addition, we have recently introduced English classes to increase our students’ mobility and facilitate their access to osteopathic and medical research.
