Steps before Departure

Application and Module descriptions:

(1) It is always necessary to fill out the form "Recognition for change of study program". Please refer to the Example of a filled form. 

 

Please note: 

In principle, there does not have to be an (almost) identical module at the FWW for the recognition of an external course! In this respect, only note what you think is the foreign counterpart in the application if you want to replace a compulsory module here. If (further) equivalences to local courses are found during the examination of your application, you will be informed of this with the consequence that you will not be able to take these modules after your return.

 

(2) The following documents are required to verify eligibility for recognition: 

  • content of the module (description)
  • level of the module (BA vs. MA)
  • Amount of ECTS / Credit Points 
  • type and extend of the module-specific examination

 

Submission of application form:

It is necessary to submit the Excel-form as well as the module descriptions via your student e-mail address to the academic head of the examination office (PD Dr. habil. Toni Richter) : toni.richter@ovgu.de 

Please use the following the E-Mail template: E-Mail correspondence

 

Assessment of the documents: 

1) The eligibility of recognition is based on the criteria of the Lissabon Convention (Quality, level, learning outcomes, work load, profile)

2) You will normally be informed about the result of the Assessment within 3-4 weeks after the submission of all necessary documents.

 

Recognition agreement vs. Learning Agreement:

 

1) The approved Excel-based Recognition agreement formaly represent the binding registration for your exam (possible changes in the future excluded).

2) On the basis of the approved agreement you have to fill out a corresponding Learning Agrrement for the foreign institution. The specific steps depend on your exchange program: 

 

(I) Erasmus+

  • On the basis of your approved “recognition agreement” please create your digital Learning Agreement (LA/CA) for your University abroad via mobility database “MoveOn”. Therefore, transfer your data from exAV one to one! Pay attention to our linked references and especially: 

   - “External modules” are expected to be entered in category  “ Stay (receive..) “ on MoveOn

   - “Desired recognitions FWW” are expected to be entered in category “Home (sent..) on MoveOn              

  • By completing the Learning Agreement (LA), the Examination Office will be informed and will “approve” the LA and forward it to the partner university for inspection. 
  • Please note! Transfer and registration mistakes on MoveOn regarding the “exAV” are on your expense and have no legal effect. 

 

(II) Freemover/Worldwide-program: 

 

  • On the basis of your approved “recognition agreement” (exAV)  please create your Learning Agreement (LA/CA). Therefore transfer your data (exAV) for the foreign university one to one!
  •  Please use the specially created form for your LA/CA, which you find here.
  •  Send the completed and signed LA/CA back to me via your student email. 
  • We will sign and stamp your LA/CA and send it back to you by post. 
    • Please note! Transfer and registration mistakes regarding the “exAV” are on your expense and have no legal effect.
