ECTS Requirements

The minimum study period for an exchange student coming to Regensburg is one semester. You will be expected to gain 30 ECTS credits per semester. To do so, the average work load will amount to approx. 12 - 16 contact hours per semester, depending on the nature of the classes. A mixture of different types of classes (lectures, seminars, exercise courses, etc.) is recommended.

Please talk to your home institution to find out how many language class credits you will be allowed to import.

Exchange students should decide with the coordinator at their home institution which types of classes (Proseminar, Hauptseminar, Vorlesung) in which subdiscipline they would like to take. Background knowledge and the study programme of the home university should be taken into account.

Once in Regensburg, you can finalize your course choice with the help of the departmental LLP-ERASMUS coordinator. Exchange students will be asked to register for courses personally, which means that you should contact the instructors directly and discuss requirements and means of assessment.

If you have to make changes to your original study plan, you have to add these changes to your learning agreement and have these changes signed by the coordinators of your home institution and the UR.
