Learning Agreement (LA) and Online Learning Agreement (OLA)

Please refer to the course list of the past and current semester. Some of our courses are offered every semester or at least every summer/winter term. The complete course list for the next semester is only available a few weeks before the semester starts.

Current semester: https://www.uni-passau.de/en/course-catalogue/

Next semester: https://www.uni-passau.de/en/course-catalogue/next-semester/

You can find our offer and more information on language courses here: https://www.sprachenzentrum.uni-passau.de/en/current-courses/

It is your responsibility to find suitable courses in our course list, you will then need to make your own timetable.
You also have to take care of the recognition of courses at your home university.
We can help you to find suitable courses during the Orientation Weeks. Please have a look at our programme for the orientation weeks.

20 – 25 ECTS per semester is enough for an exchange student.
There are exceptions where you have to achieve 30 ECTS, for example to secure your funding or because you are enrolled in a double degree. Please inquire at your home university to find out how many credits you need to gain.

Unfortunately, we can’t grant any ECTS points for thesis research. You are allowed to mention your thesis in the Learning Agreement but you have to indicate it with 0 ECTS.

You should hand in your “Before the Mobility” document before you travel to Passau.
Changes to the original should be handed in at the latest three weeks after lectures have started.

It takes us approximately 2 weeks to sign your document and send it back to you.
Please make not of this and hand it in in time!

Please don’t inquire about the status of your LA/OLA. Have patience, we are working on it.

Yes, you can change your LA/OLA multiple times. Please hand in a “During the Mobility” document and fill in the courses you want to delete/add.

Please ALWAYS send your LA to exchangestudents@uni-passau.de

Your document is checked by the international office and will then get forwarded to the responsible person to get it signed. If you send it directly to the responsible person, it will be redirected to the international office and the process takes longer.

It is sufficient to send us your LA ONCE. You don’t have to resend the e-mail several times.
