MIRALLES AGUILERA, Eva et al. Appropriateness of academic credits. Educ Med Super [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.4, pp.781-789. ISSN 0864-2141.

The system of academic credits and its implementation in the higher education was made based on the concept of academic credits emerging from the need of making comparisons and finding equivalences at international scale, in addition to facilitating the mobility of professors and students to other institutions. Its implementation in European, American and Latin American universities was reviewed and the final considerations about this issue in Cuba, where the experience accumulated just in the graduate education, were also stated. This paper took into account the events about this topic held in Europe and Latin America.

Keywords : system of academic credits; European system of academic credits; American system of credits and Latin American system of credits.
