General Recommendation for the Award of Credit
Determination of the Advanced Training
Programme Modules’ Workload Based on the
Outcomes of the Comparison of Content
The outcomes of both directions of the
comparisonof content allow for estimation
of the workload of the advanced training
programmes’ modules.
The estimation results in:
Module 1 (Macroeconomics
and Economic Geography)
2.25 CPs
Module 2
(Project Management)
0.96 CPs
Module 3 (Marketing)
1.61 CPs
It was not feasible to directly estimate
the workload of the programme modu-
les 4 and 5 due to a lack of coverage of
their learning outcomes by those of the
reference degree programme. Therefore,
an indirect estimation was carried out
based on the modules‘ study hours.
The total workload of the modules 1, 2
and 3 was estimated with 4.82 CPs. For
these three modules the training provi-
der specifies the following study hours:
Module 1 (Macroeconomics and Econo-
mic Geography)
44 study hours
Module 2 (Project Management)
40 study hours
Module 3 (Marketing)
72 study hours
All in all these three modules comprise
156 study hours. Therefore, one credit
point equates to 32.37 study hours on
average.
This means that in the advanced training
programme, the learners have to fulfill an
average of 32.37 study hours in order to
achieve those learning outcomes that are
awarded with 1 CP in the degree program-
me.
Based on this calculation, the credit
points concerning the advanced training
programme`s modules 4 and 5 were
then calculated indirectly. The presence
time of these modules are:
Module 4 (International Marketing and
Controlling): 96 study hours
Module 5 (Import / Export): 214 study
hours
Hence the following CPs are estimated:
Module 4 (96 / 32.37)
2.97 CPs
Module 5 (214 / 32.37)
6.61 CPs
The recommended scope of CPs results
from rounding the estimated workloads:
Module 1
(Macroeconomics and
Economic Geography)
2 CPs
Module 2 (Project Management) 1 CPs
Module 3 (Marketing)
2 CPs
Module 4
(International Marketing and
Controlling)
3 CPs
Module 5
(Import / Export)
7 CPs
All in all the advanced training program-
me EMfEI comprises a workload that is
worth 15 CPs.
The estimation of credit points was based on
this formula:
CP: Credit Point
MAT
: Learning unit of the advanced
training programme
k
: number of study modules (of the
degree programme) that have a sub-
stantial match with the MAT (EMfEI
module)
CC
: Coverage of learning outcomes in
percent
CU
: Study module of degree program-
me
