Learning Agreement
The Learning Agreement is a contract between you, your home university and the host faculty at the Bauhaus Universität Weimar.
It includes a list of courses, which the Erasmus student should attend at the host university. As an exchange student, you will be advised by YOUR academic advisor from your home university about the courses offered at our faculty. You can obtain the relevant form from your home university.
The courses offered at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar for the upcoming semester will not be published until just a few weeks before the semester begins. Furthermore, due to the unique system used for project assignment it is not possible to define the exact courses which a student will attend and therefore you will have to fill out the preliminary Learning Agreement on the basis of the general disciplines offered in Weimar.
Gabriela Oroz will sign your Learning Agreement. Please do not send your Learning Agreement before having been admitted by our university.
Transcript of Records
The Transcript of Records documents the performance of a student by listing the courses completed, the ECTS credit points acquired, as well as the local grades obtained and the ECTS grades.
The responsible examination office issues this copy of the data to all students who have completed their stay abroad. In order to receive the Transcript of Records, you must contact Annett Wagner at the beginning of the respective examination period.
Please send an email to transcript [at] uni-weimar.de in which you can find the Transcript Generator Sheet with an overview of your courses and the address of your home university or your private address to which the Transcript of Records should be sent to communicate
As soon as all the examination results will have been entered in the BISON portal, you can generate your digital transcript of records. If you need a stamped and signed copy, please contact Annett Wagner.
Note: The Transcript of Records can only be issued after the results / grading have been announced by the lecturer. This usually might take some weeks after the exam date.
