Things to know

Learning Agreement

Please check with the coordinator of your home university if you need a learning agreement. If the future course catalogue is not yet available you can refer to the course catalogue of previous semesters and add those to your learning agreement. At the time of your arrival, the learning agreement is normally just temporary and can be changed or extended. In this case, please contact your academic coordinator at the Paderborn University and complete the learning agreement "Changes" form.

More detailled information about the Online Learning Agreement that Erasmus+ students have to issue you can find here.

Course Registration and Guidance

At the beginning of the semester, the International Office will arrange introductory sessions for all subjects and / or make appointments with your academic advisor in the faculty.

The formal registration for courses is not necessary before your arrival. Exception: Students of Business and Economics can register in advance for a few courses. The faculty will inform you about this possibility in time.

Transcript of Records

At the end of your stay in Paderborn you will receive a Transcript of Records from the International Office, in which each course will be listed with your grade and the ECTS points earned.

Exams

Typically, exams take place within 2-3 weeks after the official end of the lecture period. In some cases, exams might take place later than that! Therefore, please make sure to inform yourselves about exam dates once you are here in Paderborn and check this directly with your respective faculty and professors.

Required language skills for exchange students

For most courses, language skills on level B1 min. in the language of instruction are recommended.

A language certificate is not required.
