Credit transfer

In principle, there is no obligation to recognize examinations that have already been taken. You choose yourself which achievements you want to have recognized. Already completed achievements, which you do not have recognized, can be completed again in the first attempt in the Master's program EES. If applicable, this also applies to modules that have been definitively failed and to modules with registered failed attempts from your previous studies.

• Credit for examinations must be awarded promptly upon enrollment in the EES degree program.
• Bachelor modules can generally not be credited for Master modules!
• For students changing programs
  • within the University of Bamberg, it is not necessary to contact the lecturer of the course to obtain recognition confirmations. After all, they are the same courses (e.g. "Advanced Microeconomics" or "Introduction to Econometrics").
  • Students changing programs from outside the University of Bamberg have to ask the lecturer of the course in Bamberg to confirm the recognition of externally completed courses. The module handbook EES will help you to find the responsible lecturer.
• To receive credit, please use the credit form provided by the Examination Committee and submit it to Dr. Felix Stübben together with a performance overview of your previous studies.

For each 30 ECTS points of credited examination achievements, you will be upgraded by the Bamberg Student Office by one semester.

You can also have external achievements credited to your EES studies, such as those offered by the Virtual University of Bavaria (vhb).

Contact the lecturer responsible for the content at the University of Bamberg and clarify whether a course taken externally can be credited for a course offered by her/him.

Attention: the possibility of recognition of academic achievements only exists for courses that are listed within the scope of your choosing options in the Master's program EES. These options and the name of the responsible lecturer can be found in the module handbook. Accordingly, bachelor modules are not creditable!

It is recommended that you contact the responsible lecturer before completing the external course.

The crediting is done via a crediting form provided by the examination board. This form must be submitted to Dr. Felix Stübben together with the confirmation of recognition from the subject representative. The entry in FlexNow by the examination office of the University of Bamberg will then be arranged automatically.
