ECTS points express the average student’s workload as required to
achieve the expected results in a particular subject (1 ECTS point is equal
to 25-30 hours of work during classes, together with the student’s own
work). In accordance with Resolution No. 56 of the Senate of the
University of Warsaw, passed on February 22, 2006, it was accepted that
for general university subjects each student of the first-cycle studies is
supposed to get 9 ECTS points for general university subjects, and the
student of the second-cycle studies 6 ECTS points.
