KIT - INTL - Outgoing Students - Study Abroad - ERASMUS+

The coursework completed abroad can be recognized here at KIT. If you have obtained the corresponding recognition confirmations before the start of your semester abroad, you can now redeem them with your professors. Recognition is regulated by your KIT faculty. Information on this can be found on the ERASMUS+ exchange page of your KIT faculty.

You can find out about your rights and obligations and the legal framework for recognition in the flyer from the German Rectors' Conference on the subject, source: https: //www.hrk-nexus.de/themen/anerkennung/materialien-zu-anerkennung-und-anrechnung/

The recognition and conversion of examinations taken abroad is generally the responsibility of the faculties. In addition to grades, other aspects such as SWS, course content and different grade distributions often play a role in practice. The Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs recommends the modified Bavarian formula as a practical basis for converting examination results. In practice, it may be best to use a conversion table that you have found and cite the source. However, this can only ever be a recommendation!

The "modified Bavarian formula":

Where the following applies:

The maximum and the lowest passing grade should be taken from the grading system used at the foreign university/for the respective degree program submitted by the student.

Example Spain

The Spanish grading scale ranges from 0-10. The Spanish transcript of records shows that the maximum achievable grade is 10 and the lowest passing grade is 5. The student has achieved an 8 in the examination. After applying the modified Bavarian formula, the converted German grade is 2.2.
