After studying abroad

Young folks greet friend at the airport

After the stay abroad, the conversion of your grade will no longer take place at the individual chairs where the Learning Agreement was applied for, as was previously the case, but will be carried out centrally at the Dean's Office of the School of Business, Economics and Information Systems. Please expect a processing time of about 2 weeks.

For the conversion you will need the following documents:

  • the official Transcript of Records of the partner university in the original.
    (If you only have an original digital document here, please have this confirmed in advance at the International Office. The confirmed copy will be forwarded directly to the Dean's Office by the International Office. Please note that the International Office can only certify a digital Transcript of Records if it has been sent directly to the International Office by the partner university).
  • the Individual Learning Agreements concluded before the start of your studies abroad with the module coordinators of the WIWI-School as an editable PDF document via E-Mail.

    Please do not submit converted photos etc.! These will not be processed.

    (Individual Learning Agreements concluded with module coordinators of other faculties must be submitted at the place where they were issued!) Please do not forget to sign the Individual Learning Agreements under "Declaration" before submitting them!

You can submit the Learning Agreements to the Examination Office after the grade conversion has been confirmed by the Dean's Office.

As of the summer semester 2017, the Modified Bavarian Formula will be used exclusively for grade conversion in accordance with the decision of the Examination Committee. The conversion is done in tenths of a grade; the resulting value is truncated after the first decimal place (not rounded).

Important information for students going abroad from the winter semester 2025/26: From this date, the maximum grade and lowest pass mark will be taken from the transcript of records (overview of grades) of the host university and - if not available - from the information portal for the recognition of foreign educational qualifications (Anabin).

Until then, different Nmax values apply for some countries. (Australia: 90, Ireland: 75, Netherlands: 9, Spain: 9, South Africa: 80, UK: 80, Portugal: 17)

After the grade conversion, you can have your achievements from your study abroad recorded in HISQIS by the Examination Office. To do so, please submit the following documents to the Examination Office:

  • the original and a copy of the Individual Learning Agreements concluded before the start of your studies abroad and supplemented by the grade conversion.
  • if it is a separate document, the original and a copy of the grade conversion as well
  • the original and a copy of the Transcript of Records (if you only have an original digital document, please have this confirmed in advance at the International Office)
  • the form for the registration of stays abroad (German)

The originals will be returned to you immediately, the achievements will be entered.

Please also note the information on possible upgrading (German)!
