Recognition of study and examination achievements from abroad

Before starting your mobility abroad, conclude a learning agreement with the person responsible for stays abroad in your degree programme in which you record the selected modules and ECTS credits at the host university.

Templates are already available for our exchange programmes: the Online Learning Agreement for Erasmus+ (available after registering for the programme via the Mobility Online database) and the Study Agreement for bilateral exchanges. We also recommend concluding a Learning Agreement for individually organised stays (so-called free movers). You can use the Study Agreement template for this purpose.

At the beginning of your stay abroad, first make sure that the courses you have chosen will take place at the host university. If you are unable to attend something as planned, discuss any changes to the learning agreement with the Student Advisory Service immediately. Use the Learning and Study Agreements to record the changes in writing ("Changes to the Original Learning Agreement").

At the end of your stay or after your return, you will receive a transcript of records from the host university. This lists the credits and grades earned abroad. If this is not the case, make sure you obtain the usual proof of the modules/events you have completed from the host university.

After your return, submit the application for recognition of study and examination achievements and enclose all supporting documents (learning agreement, transcript of records, timetables if applicable, course descriptions, module overviews from the partner university).

You can download the application form from the MyCampus homepage under "Information from the Department of Study and Examination Services".

The application is first checked by the Examination Service for formal correctness and completeness. The content is then assessed and a decision is made by the examination board of the relevant faculty or by the study commission of the relevant degree programme.

The conversion of grades is carried out by the examination board of your faculty/degree programme and is based on the modified Bavarian formula.

The grades of recognised coursework and examinations will be adopted for comparable grading systems and included in the calculation of module and overall grades.

In the case of non-comparable grading systems, the note "passed" is included in the transcript of records and the performance is not taken into account when calculating the module and overall grade.

You will receive written notification of the recognition decision.

Study and examination achievements completed and recognised abroad are marked on the degree certificate.
