Languages can be credited in all degree programs. Language examination results are not automatically reported to the Examination Office. For language courses to be recognized, the relevant confirmation of participation must be submitted to the relevant examination office. You can find this on Stud.IP.

Language examination results are not automatically reported to the Examinations Office. Each student must register the language at the Language Center office after completing the course. Every two months, a list of students is sent to the Examinations Office, on which only the course registrations are noted.
Language courses can only be credited in the semester in which they were completed.
This registration is registered in the Examinations Office and assigned in consultation with the student concerned.

Recognition of courses completed abroad

Study and examination achievements completed during a stay abroad at one of the numerous partner universities can be recognized in accordance with the equivalence agreements of the HRK (HochschulRektorenKonferenz). Please also note the regulations of the applicable study and examination regulations. The following documents must be completed and signed before the start of your stay abroad:

• a signed Learning Agreement (usually required as part of the registration at the partner university) on which the selected courses are noted and participation in the courses is guaranteed
• a transcript of records with all completed coursework and examinations at the partner university

Attention!!! The information on the Learning Agreement and the Transcript of Records must be identical. Changes that occur during the course of the study visit must also be signed by the responsible staff at the home and partner universities.
