Credit Recognition

Here you will find all relevant information regarding the recognition of external academic achievements at our chair.

General

Credits that have been earned outside of TUM, both abroad and in Germany, can be recognized within the framework of §6 ADPO and §16 APSO.

Prerequisites

The prerequisite for the recognition of achievements is that there are no significant differences in the acquired competences (learning outcomes) with respect to the skills or knowledge acquired through a course at another academic institute, i.e., that the achievements are equivalent in terms of content and level. 

For TUM MGT Students

If you are an enrolled student at TUM School of Management and would like to request credit recognition for a course offered at our chair, please use the digital platform PIM. The platform for inter*national credit recognition (PIM) offers a digitalized process for all types of credit recognition. This means that you can use this platform for all types of recognition (e.g., for the recognition of credits from previous academic achievements or after a stay abroad).
For more details and guidance on how to submit the application, please consult the information provided on the TUM MGT website in the Download Center. Please also consult the general recognition process and the requirements that must be fulfilled for credit recognition.
 

For Students from other Schools

If you are an enrolled student at another school, please contact our chair directly and send the following documents to Hanna Sittenthaler

• Application form for credit approval (you can find the necessary PDF in the Grade Management’s Download Center)
• Syllabus of the course at the foreign university to be credited (including table of content, learning outcomes, amount of ECTS, course level Bachelor/Master, assessment/examination requirements)
• Syllabus of the TUM course to be approved
   

Please note that only complete applications can be reviewed. After examining your documents, we will inform you whether the course can be recognized based on the materials you have submitted.
