Studying abroad is as exciting as it is beneficial to your academic career. There are different credit transfer options.
Please find the overview for your study program here:
Form for Academic Recognition for Courses from Universities abroad after Mobility
1. Direct 1:1 transfer
Please refer to our database for transfer of credits for detailed information on which courses from your study abroad will be directly recognized for a specific TUM course without any difficulties. If you want to attend a course at your host university that has very similar topics to one course at TUM School of Management, you may apply for an equivalence check at the offering chair.
2. Electives
Besides direct recognition, you can use your courses abroad as your elective courses or for your mobility window. Please have a look at the details regarding credit transfer for electives in your study program.
3. Learning Agreement
Please prepare a learning agreement for the courses you plan to pass during your stay abroad.
For ERASMUS+, you have to complete an Online Learning Agreement (OLA) before the start of semester abroad.
In order to be able to complete the OLA correctly, there is a two step procedure:
- Complete the TUM Learning Agreement (pdf document). (Downloads > International > TUM Learning Agreement for ERASMUS students). You can also find a guide on “How to fill out the TUM Learning Agreement for Erasmus + students” in our Download section. (Download > International > How to fil out the TUM Learning Agreement for Erasmus+ students).
- After getting back the approved TUM Learning Agreement for ERASMUS+ students (pdf version) by the TUM SoM International Office, transfer the information into the OLA Platform. You can also find the “Manual: Online Learning Agreement (OLA) for ERASMUS+ students” in our Download section. (Download > International > Manual: Online Learning Agreement (OLA) for Erasmus+ students).
If you study at a university which is not a part of ERASMUS+ or if you are a freemover student, you can submit our “Learning Agreement for students going to non-ERASMUS countries and freemover students” (Download > International > Learning Agreement for students going to non-ERASMUS countries and freemover students). You can also find a guide on “How to fill out the Learning Agreement for students going to non-ERASMUS countries and freemover students” in our Download section (Download > International > How to fill out the Learning Agreement for students going to non-ERASMUS countries and freemover students).
All relevant documents and forms for credit transfer and recognition can also be found in our download section.
