TIP: The course is rated at 8 ECTS
Why 8 ECTS?
It is project based course where you are expected to go through the whole design and development process. You are expected to perform substantial amount of work to deliver the project and therefore we wanted to reward it with appropriate amount of ECTS credits that reflect the expected hours that you should put into the projects. According to the definition 8 ECTS equals to 200-240 hours of work per person during the course time frame.
