Recognition of study and examination achievements
Please note: If you require a certificate of credit transfer for the admission and enrolment procedure for a higher semester in accordance with Section 6 (8) of the TUD Dresden University of Technology's Enrolment Regulations for submission to the Admissions Office, your application for credit transfer of study and examination achievements as well as periods of study (semesters) must be submitted in full to the Examination Office by 01.06. to 15.06. or 01.12. to 15.12. at the latest. If the application for credit transfer is received after this deadline or is incomplete, it cannot be processed by the Examination Committee in time. In this case, the certificate of credit transfer required for your application in the higher semester cannot be issued within the deadlines in the admission and enrolment procedure.
If the degree programs are the same, the crediting of coursework and examinations is carried out officially. The examination for equality of degree programs is also carried out officially as part of the application / enrollment process.
Applying for a certificate of credit transfer does not replace the application via the Admissions Office / International Office.
