Process of credit transfer

• Before your semester abroad, inform yourself about the courses offered at your host university that you can take during your semester abroad.
• Basic information of the process of credit transfer will be provided at the information session in April. If you study at a university abroad as a free mover, please contact the Dean of studies office in advance.
• The faculty has a simplified process for the recognition. For modules from partner universities that have already been recognized in past – in the last four semesters – no additional confirmation by a chairholder is required. 
• If a course is not on the list of accredited modules, the possibility of recognition must be reviewed by the relevant chair. A syllabus, a module description (content, course structure, wordload, type and duration of the examination, a list of accompanying literature) is required.
• Consider which module in your degree programme could be credited to the module from abroad. Compare the content of a module from abroad with modules in your degree programme description. Please refer to the FSB, applicable to your degree programme. In your module handbook (in FLIP), you can use the search function to find suitable modules or chairs.
• A module from abroad can be recognized either as an equivalent for an existing module or as a so-called "placeholder." An equivalent course means, that there is a high overlap in terms of level, contents and scopes. Theses courses can be recognized  1:1 to an existing module of your degree programme. If a course is recognized as an equivalent, you can no longer take and transfer the corresponding module to the faculty. "Placeholders" are modules such as  "(Selected) Topics in..." .
• The chair will then review the credit transfer options. Please plan your course selection carefully, as the clarification in FLIP is limited to six modules.
• If a course is recognised as equivalent, you can no longer take the corresponding module at the Faculty. However, it is also possible that a module taken abroad may be deemed non-recognisable.
• In case of uncertainty, please contact the examination board chairpersons for your degree programme.
• If you have any questions about the process, please contact ausland@wiwi.uni-wuerzburg.de (Michaela Briglmeir, International Coordinator).

During Study Abroad:

If you change your course selection during a semester abroad, you can make a new preliminary clarification via the FLIP portal.

After Study Abroad::

• The final completed recognition of modules  must be submitted via LOGIN in the FLIP portal. It is complete when a) all modules to be credited by the Examination Office are listed with the status ‘accepted’ and b) the transcript of records has been uploaded by the student. The transcript of records is usually provided by the partner university 4-6 weeks after all examinations have been taken.
• At the same time, submit the ToR to Ms Briglmeir (ausland@wiwi.uni-wuerzburg.de) so that it can be checked and compared. 
• Once all credits have been approved by the respective departments (green tick) and the ToR has been entered into the system and checked, the application can be forwarded by the student to the Examinations Office.
