Input ECTS Credits in UCAS

Hi all!

Well, this is my second time reapplying so I'm pretty familiar with UCAS but I stumbled across a problem. I'm taking a gap year and I've been taking Russian classes at Tallinn University. One semester gives me 6 ECTS credits.

My question: how do I go about declaring these credits on my UCAS application? I can't find any mention of ECTS on the "qualifications" section nor in any part of the UCAS website.

...halp? :P

log in to ucas

click "education" from the tabs on the left hand side.
click "non uk" or click "other qualification"

you might need to type it in as words in the search box
just as I have written it above.

put it in as you enter the UK qualifications, gcse or as/a level etc.
yet under "other" or "non uk"

this might help you. i have the same problem ects to ucas as I have vocational uk qualifications with ects credits.

either call ucas (be careful, it's peak rate number from a uk landline) or email the university. good luck
