Course credits
Yes, a 4h/week course is worth 5 credits, a 6h/week course is worth 8 credits and an 8h/week course is worth 10 credits upon successful completion. Please refer to Courses for further details.
You will receive a digital certificate from our administration by e-mail after successful completion of the course, usually within four weeks after the end of the lectures. If you are an exchange student we will transmit your results to the International Office and they will add them to your transcript of records if it is part of your learning agreement. If your course is not part of your learning agreement you need to forward your certificate to your program coordinator to get it added to your transcript of records.
Please inform your course instructor, so they know how many students to plan for.
Note that completing the course, including the final exam, is mandatory if you wish to enroll in a higher-level course next semester.
If you planned to have the ECTS credits from the German course applied to your degree program, please consult the examinations' office of your department (regular FU students) or the examinations' office of your home university (exchange students) to determine the impact of dropping out on your studies.
