Kreditszámát

Kreditszámát is a Hungarian term that translates to "credit number" or "credit count." It refers to the number of credits a student has earned towards the completion of a degree or course of study. In the Hungarian higher education system, credits are a standardized unit of academic workload. One credit typically represents a certain number of hours of study, including lectures, seminars, practical sessions, and independent work.

The kreditszámát is crucial for tracking academic progress. Students must accumulate a specific number of credits to graduate, and these credits are often distributed across various subjects and modules. Universities and colleges use the kreditszámát to determine a student's eligibility for certain courses, scholarships, and academic honors. It also plays a role in the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), facilitating the recognition of studies undertaken at different institutions, both within Hungary and internationally. The total kreditszámát required for a degree varies depending on the level and field of study.
