After completing your studies at your host university, be sure to save all the necessary documents, such as syllabi, exams and essays. We will send you the Transcript of Record after the study program ends. This can take several months.
You can use the documents to apply for a credit transfer at your home institution. The number of credits you will get will be based on your study plan, your own account of the overall workload and completed coursework, as well as the assessment of your home institution.
Each supervisor has their own opinion, and the practices of credit transfer vary from faculty to faculty. If your supervisor does not agree with your course choices, do not be afraid to go talk to someone else higher up. Remember to tell your supervisor that you will receive the official Transcript of Records within a few months at the latest.
