apply ECTS correctly in all first and second cycle degree programmes
The criteria for the ECTS label are: an Information Package/Course Catalogue in the local/national language and English (online or hard copy), correct use of ECTS and use of ECTS in Erasmus mobility (including samples of Learning Agreements, Transcripts of Records and proof of full academic recognition for Erasmus students)
