Development of curriculums and science programs based on ECTS (European credit transfer system)

Abstract

In this article analyzes the process of developing curricula and course programs based on ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System). The article examines the role of the ECTS system in higher education, the alignment of credit workload with students’ independent learning, and the theoretical foundations for creating curricula in a transparent and flexible manner. The study also explores the role of the ECTS system in assessing student workload, promoting independent learning, and ensuring academic mobility. In the design of course programs, special attention was given to learning outcomes and credit distribution. The article concludes with recommendations for more effective development of curricula and course programs based on the ECTS system, as well as optimizing curricula and programs in accordance with the system.
