ECTS at the University of Business in Prague

European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a learner-centered system for credit accumulation and transfer based on the transparency of learning outcomes and learning processes. It aims to facilitate planning, delivery, evaluation, recognition and validation of qualifications and units of learning as well as student mobility. ECTS is widely used in formal higher education and can be applied to other lifelong learning activities.

The University of Business in Prague is a not-for-profit organization, established in 2000, when it gained the state approval to act as a private higher educational institution. The University started to use its own credit system in 2001. After successful integration into the European higher-education area, it redesigned its credit system and in 2009 began to offer study programs in accordance with the principles of the ECTS.
