First learn about ECTS (LP), modules and courses

Find general information about ECTS credits (= Leistungspunkte), modules and courses here: 
https://www.fu-berlin.de/en/studium/beratung/information_a-z/punktemodule.html ... and make sure to read these ECTS rules for your individual degree:

• You have to finish ENTIRE MODULES to receive ECTS
• ECTS = LP
• As a rule, classes with 4+2 hours (4 hours lectures and 2 hours exercises) typically have 10 ECTS, sometimes less, classes with 2+2 hours or seminars with 2 hours have typically 5 ECTS.
• You have to pass both, the criteria for the exercises (usually based on regular participation, and submitting exercise sheets) and for the lecture (typically an exam) to get the credits for the module
• There are also so-called seminars, in which the participants prepare a presentation based on studying the literature provided.

Then check the amout of ECTS for your courses

There are two options to check the ECTS credits of courses at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science:

First, go to https://mycampus.imp.fu-berlin.de/mvs2/
→ Course Planning (Planung)
→ Longtermschedule (Langfristplanung)
→ Course-oriented Schedule OR Module-oriented Schedule (see below)
→ Faculty: Mathematics and Computer Science
→ Department/Fachrichtung: Mathematics / Bioinformatics / Computer Science

Then either chose:

1. Module-Oriented Schedule

Select your study program:

• 0086e: 2023, BSc Informatik (Mono), 150 LPs for BSc Computer Science students

• 0089c: 2014, MSc Informatik (Mono), 120 LPs for MSc Computer Science students

• 0084e: 2024, BSc Mathematik (Mono), 120 LPs for BSc Mathematics students

• 0280c: 2018, MSc Mathematik (Mono), 120 LPs for BSc Mathematics students

• 0260d: 2023, BSc Bioinformatik (Mono), 150 LPs for BSc Bioinformatics students

• 0262c: 2019, MSc Bioinformatik (Mono), 120 LPs  (+1. Änderungsordnung 0262c: 2021 MSc Bioinformatik) for MSc Bioinformatics students

You then see the ECTS credit points for each module in the left column in light blue color marked as "LP".

Example: If at home you study in the computer engineering department at the undergraduate level, it is the regulation "0086e: 2023, BSc Informatik (mono), 150 LPs" you need to choose at FU Berlin to see BSc courses.

2. Course-oriented schedule

The leftmost column under the heading "Modules" shows one or several "module keys".

• Select the module key with the prefix of your study program according to the above list and click it (e.g. 0086e).

• A subwindow will open, in which you find the ECTS credits in the box with the heading "LP".

For Bioinformatics, the course-based view is incomplete because many courses are given by other departments.
