Catalan term or phrase: ECT
"L’assignatura és de 3 ECTS i s’estructura en dos mòduls"
It seems to be some kind of points system (ie, the course is "worth" 3 ECTs), but I don't know if it's a generally accepted acronym or just this university's terminology. Does anybody know? There's nothing else to go on, I'm afraid. Presumably if it's a universally accepted term, it will be very similar in Spanish.

European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a standard for comparing the study attainment and performance of students of higher education across the European Union and other collaborating European countries. For successfully completed studies, ECTS credits are awarded. One academic year corresponds to 60 ECTS-credits that are equivalent to 1500–1800 hours of study in all countries irrespective of standard or qualification type and is used to facilitate transfer and progression throughout the Union.

The ECTS will be complemented by the European credit transfer system for vocational education and training (ECVET) which the ministers responsible for vocational training in 32 European countries agreed to develop in the Maastricht Communiqué of 14 December 2004.

ECTS also includes a standard ECTS grading scale, intended to be shown in addition to local (i.e. national) standard grades [1]:
