At the Faculty of Social Science, you will receive 6 ECTS per course as an undergraduate student and 9 ECTS per course as a postgraduate student. However, there are some exceptions: this rule does not apply for courses about statistics and economics within the Modern Indian studies postgraduate program. Students receive 4 ECTS for Statistics and 6 ECTS for economics courses in Modern Indian Studies. These rules also apply for courses taught in German. Please be aware that the amount of ECTS you get for key competences differs. By clicking on the course, you will be provided with the information about how many ECTS you will receive for that specific course.

Please note: Courses at the Center for Modern Indian Studies always consist of an exercise and a seminar, both of which must be attended.
