The aim of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is to ensure academic recognition of studies undertaken abroad, to improve co-operation between institutions of higher education, provide standardised and comprehensible information about study programmes, and set general principles for recognition of academic results. The European Commission initiated this system and it was launched in 1989.

ISM University of Management and Economics can be proud to have been awarded with a European Credit Transfer System Label for Y2006-2009 and Y2009-2013, which is granted only to institutions of higher education that impeccably apply the European Credit Transfer System. The fact that only about twenty European universities out of 1500 have been awarded this ECTS Label illustrates that really stringent requirements and evaluation criteria are applied. This international recognition allows ISM to be one of the European scientific institutions recognised as exemplary exchange partners, and students have the opportunity to choose the best institutions of higher education for their exchange programmes.
