Full-time year equivalents
| System | One full-time year |
|---|---|
| US semester credits | 30 |
| US quarter credits | 45 |
| UK credits (CATS) | 120 |
| ECTS (Europe) | 60 |
| Australian credit points | 48 at many universities (some use 24 or 144-point degrees) |
| Canadian credits | 30 (or 5.0 full-course equivalents) |
So 2 UK credits ≈ 1 ECTS, and 1 US semester credit ≈ 2 ECTS. Australian universities differ: check whether a standard unit at yours is worth 6, 10 or 12.5 credit points.
