The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System ( ECTS ) is a points system developed by the European Union as part of the Bologna Process and theEuropean Higher Education Area(EHEA). Credits are divided into teaching units (UE).
It aims to make it easier to read and compare study programmes within a country and between different European countries. The ECTS system applies mainly to university education. It is applied in France and has replaced the system of credits (UV) previously used.
