The UNYP Credit System

UNYP uses the ECTS and American semester credit systems, with one-semester credit equaling two ECTS. This dual system reflects UNYP’s partnership with the State University of New York, and Empire State University, and its history of offering multiple-degree programs.

Workload: One-semester credit (2 ECTS) equates to 50–60 work hours, though actual effort varies per student.
ECTS Allocation: Standard allocation is 60 ECTS per semester.

Course syllabi detail learning outcomes and workload estimates, which are evaluated annually through Student Evaluations of Instruction. UNYP reviews and adjusts credit allocations and workload estimates to ensure accuracy.
