Studying at a foreign university is a highly valuable experience. If planned appropriately your stay abroad should also count for the completion of your B.Sc. or M.Sc. home degree in Tübingen. An essential issue in this regard is whether, or to what extent, the credits earned abroad can be transferred to your home degree.

We ask for your understanding that our chair cannot offer individual counseling on your exchange year. The following guidelines should enable you to structure your studies abroad in a meaningful way. (Please compare also to the guidelines of the examination office).

Before going abroad

• Is it a Master's or a Bachelor's course? You should aim for courses offered for the third year of a Bachelor's program or higher (4th year or Master's course). Master's students must aim for Master's courses.
• What is the entire length of the course? Check the weekly hours and then add up the number of weeks taught. The overall contact hours of your course must come close to those of a similar course at Tübingen University.
• What is the content of the course, and what is the reading list? Check the Syllabus. This can give you an indication of whether this course is relevant for your studies.
• What kind of examination is required to complete the course? Compare this to the examination for your home courses.
• If you are not sure whether the accreditation of a foreign course is possible according to the rules outlined above, please contact: christian.mangerspam prevention@uni-tuebingen.de .

After returning home

In order to get a credit accreditation you need the respective (yellow) accreditation form handed out by the examination office. Once you obtained this form please contact: economicsspam prevention@wiwi.uni-tuebingen.de. Your e-mail should include copies of the following documents:

• course syllabus
• reading list
• your seminar papers (if any)
• your grade transcripts

In case the original material is not in German or English, please provide summaries in English or German (not required for term papers, exercise sheets etc.).
