Learning Agreements - Recognition of the chosen courses
Please inform yourself about the possibility of recognition of the courses you have chosen in good time before your stay abroad at the respective chairs. Forms for individual learning agreements as well as an overview of the documents to be submitted can be found on the pages of the respective chair or teaching unit.
General information
The recognition of study periods, coursework and examinations completed abroad should be agreed in advance with the University of Passau by concluding Learning Agreements.
If an individual learning agreement (agreement on a specific module) is concluded with the respective module supervisor, all agreed and completed coursework and examinations will be recognised unconditionally (as agreed) after the student returns from abroad.
The individual learning agreements must be applied for with the module supervisor.
- Please contact our chairs or teaching units in time before the start of your stay abroad.
- Different forms must be used depending on the degree programme or the start of your studies. These can be found on the websites of the chairs / teaching units or here below.
Please be sure to read the FAQ Individual Learning Agreements!

Special feature: Recognition in the area of Schlüsselkompetenzen / Studium Generale
Recognition in general studies or in the area of key competences, which are taken at another university abroad during enrolment in Passau, require an individual learning agreement abroad issued in advance (to be submitted to the WIWI programme coordination).
The next steps
As part of Erasmus+ funding, in addition to individual Learning Agreements, an Overall Learning Agreement or Online Learning Agreement is required, in which all completed individual Learning Agreements are recorded. This is also recommended by the International Office for students without Erasmus+ funding.
Information on this can be found at the International Office
From the summer semester 2023, academic stays abroad within the framework of Erasmus+ will be documented exclusively via an Online Learning Agreement (OLA), which replaces the previous Overall Learning Agreement (or Framework Learning Agreement).
For forms and information on the OLA, please contact the International Office.
Only any Individual Learning Agreements from the chairs must be submitted as a PDF file to the Dean's Office via learningagreement.wiwi@uni-passau.de.
The introduction of the OLA does not change the process of post-residency recognition as described on our International page.
If you plan to spend your semester abroad in a non-EU country, you need to fill out a so-called Overall Learning Agreement. This is available at the International Office.
Submit the Overall Learning Agreement and your Individual Learning Agreements from your department chairs to the Dean's Office of the School of Business, Economics and Inforamtion Systems for signature by the Dean of Studies. This can be done either by email as a PDF file (learningagreement.wiwi@uni-passau.de), or in person during Dean's Office hours.
