Course recognition
General information
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
The recognition of courses taken abroad is centrally organized at the TUM School of Management. Each study program has different options for recognition of international modules. Please have a look at the document for your study program. You find these documents under “Credit Transfer” in the download section. Please check if the course you wish to attend at a university abroad is listed in the database for transfer of credits. database for transfer of credits.
IMPORTANT: In case that our department needs to check if a new course is elligible for recognition, please fill the the form Confirmation of Course Equivalence of a an International Module BEFORE contacting the responsible person.
In particular, we need the following information:
- Course content, learning objectives, and course material (e.g. textbooks)
- Course work load / credits (hours per week, how many weeks?)
- Information on the course structure
PLEASE NOTE: The attended course has

- to comprise at least the same workload (credits, hours)
