Crediting & Certificate

 

How the crediting works

Depending on the respective curriculum, the courses completed as part of a supplementary study program can be credited as part of the free electives. However, since not all fields of study provide for free electives or do so to a corresponding extent, it is possible that additional work outside the curriculum is required to complete a supplementary study program, which cannot be fully reflected in the degree certificate.

Elective modules (12 ECTS), study supplements (24 ECTS) and specializations (36 ECTS) can be listed in the Bachelor’s, Master’s or diploma examination certificate in most fields of study (naming of free electives with an internal subject connection). You will find specific provisions on this in the curriculum of your degree program under the heading “Free electives” or, if necessary, agreement should be reached in advance with the chairperson of the curriculum committee for your degree program. The PLUS Career and Startup Center cannot provide any information on this.

 

How to get your certificate

Since study supplements and specializations can also be completed outside of the free electives, degrees are confirmed with a certificate from PLUS. These certificates can be issued for basic modules, supplements and specializations.
