ECTS credit-equivalents

Although we are not giving ECTS credits, some Universities may allocate equivalents of ECTS credits for participation in the MSIT Winter School. We recommend that you make enquiries at your Institution. Three-and-a-half days of participation is the equivalent of at least 31 hours including breaks.
