The University of Georgia employs a modern credit-based evaluation policy, which is based on the experience of American and European institutions:
The credit calculation is based on the European Credit System (ECTs):

• 1 ECT=25 hours
• Out of these 25 hours:
  • 5 - lecture hours
  • 14/16 hours – individual and practical work of a student, presentation, preparation of a thesis
  • 4/6 hours – exams: midterm exam (one or two), final exam

Master’s Program consists of 120, where General Courses are 30 ECTs, Special courses: 60 ECTs, Master’s Thesis: 30 ECTs; out of this: individual lecture-seminar with a supervisor - 6 ECTs; research/preparation and defense of the Masters thesis – 24 ECTs
