An application for the recognition of credits earned externally may only be submitted once, and must be done within the first semester following (re)enrolment at the UR. This also applies to a change of degree programme within the UR.
Applications for the recognition of academic achievements completed as part of a period of study abroad must be submitted promptly after the degree is awarded.
Once the examination to be recognised has been taken, recognition is no longer possible. Similarly, students are not permitted to subsequently withdraw from recognitions that have already been granted.
One academic semester is credited for every 30 recognised credit points (advancement to a higher level!).
Unless otherwise stated, please submit the recognition documents – preferably by email – to the programme coordinator for Chemistry/business chemistry, Dr Claudia Wanninger-Weiß.
Credit transfer in the Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry degree programmes
Before submitting your application, please clarify any possible equivalencies in advance with the programme coordinator for (Business) Chemistry, Dr Claudia Wanninger-Weiß. To do so, please submit the following documents by email:
- Transcript of Records (current)
- Course catalogue (as a PDF or link)
If you require advice regarding the recognition of your qualifications, please arrange an appointment.
Credit transfer in the Business Chemistry degree programmes
Please clarify the equivalence of modules from the economics component of your degree programme with the relevant lecturers in advance and ensure that certificates of equivalence are issued . These must be submitted together with the application for recognition to the programme co-ordinator for (Business) Chemistry.
Please clarify the equivalence of courses from the chemistry component of your degree programme in advance with the Programme Coordinator for (Business) Chemistry, Dr Claudia Wanninger-Weiß. To do so, please submit the following documents by email:
