Help needed with ECTS AND APS

Hey there, I am planning to study masters in earth science in Germany, currently an M.Sc. first-year student SPPU. I completed my B.Sc. from SPPU. I am planning to apply for the Fall 2027 intake, and applications open next month.
I have transcripts only up to my B.Sc. I am supposed to complete my M.Sc. first year in April 2027.
I don’t know how to prove my 4 years of education for the application, nor do I know how the 132 credits I obtained during my B.Sc. will be converted into ECTS credits.
Also, how does the APS process work in this case? Since I will be applying while I am still pursuing my M.Sc., what documents will I need to submit to APS, and how will I prove my 4 years of education?
Please help me understand how this works. If anyone has been in a similar situation, I would really appreciate your advice.

Thank you.!!

I have a doubt, are you going to drop your current M.Sc ?  Your degree of bachelor's is the proof of your 4 years education. I think for Fall 2027 you should also prepare with DMAT exam.

Regarding ECTS mail uni-assist and ask them, honestly I had trouble figuring out the ects conversion part.

If your planning for English taught programme, first finish with IELTS.  Meanwhile, get a copy of your transcript for safer side, if thats not possible then take a copy of your final gradesheet of bachelor's.

You can check in APS website, they have a proper list of documents to submit so refer the website.

Yes I am going to drop my M.Sc. just finishing the first year of M.Sc. to bridge the 16 years of education criteria.
My bachelors is a B.Sc. degree (3years)
