Recognitions

The following study and examination achievements can be recognized upon request:

• Achievements from a previous course of study
• Achievements completed during a stay abroad as part of your studies
• Achievements from another degree program at TUM as part of a double degree

Please note: In order to apply for recognition, you must already be enrolled in a degree program at TUM.

Please read the information on the homepage carefully. If you have any questions, please contact recognitions-ece.asa(@)xcit.de.

The most important points regarding the recognition of achievements completed abroad have been summarized for you in this information sheet: Recognition of Academic Achievements Completed Abroad.

What should be noted?

Deadlines

• An application for the recognition of credits earned before starting the program can be submitted only once, and only within the first academic year.
• The recognition request for credits earned during a semester abroad may be submitted only once and only in the semester following the stay abroad at TUM.

Please ensure before submitting your application that all modules have indeed been included.

Grades and Credits

• The conversion of externally awarded grades to the TUM grading scale is carried out in accordance with APSO §16 (6) and the Bavarian formula.
• The number of credits awarded corresponds to the number of credits assigned to the respective module at TUM.
• If the credit values of the external module and the corresponding TUM module differ significantly, the module supervisor may define compensatory work in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Office of Study and Teaching. The extent of such compensatory work, measured in credits, will also be documented in the form.
• Recommendation: Avoid taking modules at the host university whose learning outcomes you have already achieved through similar modules at TUM. Such modules generally cannot be recognized

Processing Time

We will process your application promptly; however, processing may take some time. After a few weeks, you are welcome to request an interim update.

Advancement to a higher Semester

Bachelor’s and Master’s students who wish to transfer at least 30 ECTS from previous studies into their current program will be advanced by one semester. At 52 ECTS, the advancement increases to two semesters, and for every additional 30 ECTS, the student is advanced by one further semester.

Please do not confuse

The application and the recognition of academic achievements are handled independently of each other. The recognition process takes place afterwards and can only be initiated once you have been officially enrolled.

How do i submit the application?

The application must be submitted exclusively by email to recognitions-ece.asa(at)xcit.tum.de.
