For more information, please come by the International Office or contact the Erasmus coordinator and study abroad advisor Dr. Martin Windisch. They will inform you about:

Recognition of Credits Earned Abroad
To ensure that your courses will be accredited after your return to Stuttgart, we will be happy to advise you on course selection before your stay abroad. Courses that entail workloads which are equivalent to courses at our Department will be accredited after your return. For more information, please contact Dr. Windisch.
Please note, however, that we are unable to accept any classes taken abroad for the module “Linguistic and Literary Competence” in the Master of Education degree. This module requires a 60-minute oral exam and therefore cannot be substituted with another class.
