I believe an average 3 year degree course is 180 ECTS, which translates to 60 ECTS per year. Based on this, a 4 year course would be 240 ECTS.

You can also do your research, but that's the information I have.

ECTS includes a standard grading scale, intended to be shown in addition to local (i.e. national) standard grades. It is a credit system designed to make it easier for students to move between countries to study.
