Reviewed 19 August 2026No account required

Estimate ECTS from total workload hours using an hours-per-ECTS assumption you choose, while keeping the result separate from the credits an institution officially awards. The useful output is not just the number: it is the number together with the assumptions and eligibility checks that can change what you should do next.

Use the workload assumption relevant to the programme or system you are researching.

What this calculator uses

The inputs on this page are Total workload hours, Hours per ECTS used for this estimate. The calculation uses the values you enter for Total workload hours, Hours per ECTS used for this estimate and returns the planning output described by the tool.

How to read the result

ECTS is awarded by institutions/programmes. This calculator estimates workload equivalence only.

What the number does not prove

An admissions pre-screen can identify published gaps, but it cannot guarantee admission. Programme-specific prerequisites, document review, capacity and holistic selection can still control the outcome.

Best next step

Use the result to identify the exact programme requirement that needs verification next, then check the institution’s current admissions page before paying an application fee.

Verify the governing ruleThis page explains a planning method, not a universal licensing rule. If your credential has a mandatory total, category, provider, or reporting rule, use the issuing authority as the final source.
Important: This is a planning aid. Universities, scholarship providers, immigration authorities, recognition bodies and professional regulators control their own decisions and changing requirements.
