General information
Study achievements that have been completed at the TU Dresden (e.g. in other study programs) or at other colleges and universities in Germany and abroad can, upon application, be recognized in the diploma program in architecture at the TU Dresden. This includes both academic achievements and other achievements made during the study of architecture at the TU Dresden, as well as at previous times of study and times outside of a study program. Excepted from this are those study achievements that were completed within the framework of *Erasmus programs. For the diploma program in architecture, please also note the information on the respective recognition procedures.
Recognition of *Erasmus studies
If you want to spend one or more semesters abroad through the Erasmus program, the crediting of the achievements has to be clarified via a so-called Learning Agreement between the TU Dresden and the partner university already before the stay abroad. The Erasmus office of the respective study program is responsible for this - as well as for credits for work already completed within the framework of the Erasmus program.

Recognition of previous periods of study
If you have a previous degree or previous periods of study, various criteria are decisive for the credit transfer procedure.
- Were the previous achievements in the same field of study?
- At which university were the previous achievements completed?
- Do you already have a university degree or not yet?
- If yes, what is the nature of this university degree?
- Are you an applicant from the EU or other foreign countries?
Crediting of internships and practical periods
The Internship Office (Praktikantenamt) is responsible for the crediting of internships, practical periods and practical semesters (7th semester). Please also note the internship guideline (Praktikumsrichtlinie) and check which prerequisites apply to you.
General requirements for recognition of credits
Before contacting us, please check on the pages of the student advisory service or the study information system whether the study requirements applicable to you are generally met.

Documents needed
In principle, the recognition of services is only possible if all documents required for the respective procedure are available in the form of certified copies or (upon request) as originals. The required documents include:
- Certificate (in the case of a university degree)
- overview of grades
- Module handbook / module descriptions
- Language certificate with corresponding qualification (if German is not your native language)
- Portfolio (documentation of your academic achievements)
For documents not written in German or English, a translation into German as a certified copy is required. All translations of the documents must have been made by a sworn interpreter in Germany or confirmed by the German mission abroad in the home country.
