FAQ
Can I get a binding assertion in advance that confirms that my foreign course will be accepted?
It is in general not possible to provide a binding confirmation about the recognition of a course.
In particular, this also leads to the situation that you cannot change your study plan in advance of your stay abroad.
The course that I am planning to attend does not cover all topics marked red or only a few marked yellow. Is it still possible to get it recognized?
You have the possibility to catch up on topics that have not been covered by performing additional work at the foreign institution. This can for example be in the form of a corrected project work or an additional test taken with your lecturer. In any case, it is necessary that you receive a written acknowledgement about the additional work.
As an alternative, you can of course also take an additional course to cover up for the missing topics.
It is not possible to get an examination of the missing topics by IRT. Therefore, you are strongly urged to make sure that you have all topics covered before your return. If in doubt, check back with the contact person at IRT.
