Credit transfer
Credit transfer for TUM modules
Master's students who have completed courses during their previous Bachelor's degree program at TUM that were not recorded on their graduation certificate can apply to have these credits recognized toward their Master’s degree program.
Advancing one to two semesters
If Master's students transfer more than 21 ECTS from their Bachelor's degree program or a previous Master’s program, they will advance one semester. If more than 51 ECTS have been transferred, they will advance two semesters.
Modules from other universities: Bachelor
If you are returning, for example, from a semester abroad, fill out the credit transfer request form and submit it via email along with the following documents to bachelor (at) ma.tum.de:
- Module description
- Transcript of Records
- Grade scale of the host institution
As soon as you receive an email confirming that the documents are ready to pick up, you take your documents and module descriptions (module catalog) to the module coordinator to obtain his or her signature or position statement on the matter. You then submit the signed documents once again to Heike Kudlich.
Modules from other universities: Master
After returning from the host institution, you must fill out a credit transfer request formand submit it via email along with the following documents to master (at) ma.tum.de:
- Transcript of Records
- Module description
- Grade scale of the host institution
- Proof from the host institution that the module is a Master's level module (e.g. with reference to the module description or a curriculum)
After your documents have been verified, an entry will be made in TUMonline acknowledging completion of the examination requirement (credits). Should an additional position statement from the module coordinator be required, you will be informed accordingly by email. Please note that a 1:1 recognition is only possible if you have not registered for the exam of the respective TUM module before.
Semester count after leave of absence
Should students have accrued more than 21 credits at another university (at home or abroad) during a leave of absence, and wish to have all of these count towards their Bachelor's or Master’s degree, they advance one semester.
Please note: Should you wish a certain portion of credits to count towards the Bachelor’s degree and another towards the Master's degree (e.g. of 30 credits in total, 10 towards the Master’s and 20 towards the Bachelor’s), you cannot be advanced a semester.
Extradisciplinary skills
Students acquire personal and social competencies, as well as skills concerning information, ideas, and methods, within the scope of our current extradisciplinary courses:
Bachelor's program
From the 3rd to the 6th semesters, students must verify that they have completed courses worth 6 ECTS.
Master’s program
During the Master's program, 4 ECTS are required (for the Mathematics in Data Science Master's program, 3 ECTS).
Please clarify any issues concerning recognition of these credits in advance with Heike Kudlich or Anja Hoffmann.
