Obligatory ECTS credits per year
Typically, students planning to pursue further education in Studio Arts need to earn ECTS credits to validate their courses.
The following tables demonstrate the annual ECTS credit requirements for the Metàfora Studio Arts Program.
* Metàfora is an independent institution and does not hold university accreditation. However, we enable credit convalidation by other institutions by aligning our credits with the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System). 1 ECTS credit is equivalent to 25 hours of combined classroom hours and homework.
