Scottish Credit Transfer System

The Scottish Credit Transfer System (SCTS) is a framework that recognizes and credits students' previous learning across Scottish higher education institutions. It ensures that when students transfer between universities or pursue further studies, their prior coursework, skills, and achievements are acknowledged accurately. This system helps streamline admissions, facilitates mobility, and promotes flexibility in education pathways, making it easier for students to build on their existing qualifications without repeating similar coursework. Overall, the SCTS promotes transparency, fairness, and efficiency in credit transfer within Scottish higher education.
