Credit transfer for coursework completed abroad

Many students wish to have the credits they earned abroad recognized as part of their studies in Bayreuth. The procedures for recognition vary depending on the degree programme.


Please note that the International Office is not responsible for recognizing academic achievements from abroad. For any questions about recognition, contact the relevant department directly.

In general, academic achievements earned abroad can be recognized as part of your degree if your programme allows for it, such as through a mobility window or by substituting individual courses.

Achievements that cannot be directly transferred to your degree programme may still be included in the Diploma Supplement. You can request this document, along with your degree certificate, from the Examinations Office upon completing your programme. Internships can also be included in the Diploma Supplement.

Find out about your rights and obligations regarding recognition. The German Rectors' Conference has compiled general information on the recognition and conversion of foreign qualifications and a helpful FAQ section.

Recording periods abroad in the Diploma Supplement

The Diploma Supplement (DS) was developed in connection with the creation of a European Higher Education Area and contains information that helps educational institutions and employers at national and international level to classify qualifications correctly according to standardised criteria. This makes the academic career of graduates more transparent and facilitates access to the international higher education and labour market.

The Diploma Supplement is issued as an English-language supplement to the degree certificate and is therefore one of the UBT's final documents.

Stays abroad can be included in the Diploma Supplement under ‘Additional Information’.
