PLTORUNOl:ECTS Credits:

The Nicolaus Copernicus University follows the ECTS scheme, which means that ECTS credits areallocated to course units, lectures, practical works, etc. at each faculty. In ECTS, 60 credits represent oneyear of study (m terms of workload); normally 30 credits are given for six months (a term/semester).

The Polish grading system in higher education is based on the 5 to 2 scale, where 5 is the best mark and2 is the worst.Moreover, students can also be marked with additional signs of + and -. Each of them equals half apoint: + means 0.5 more. Some courses, however; are not evaluated on such a marking scheme and forthese a student may simply obtain zal. or zaliczenie (EN. 'pass') which means that their workload wassatisfactory and they have passed the course.
