Please note that self-service credit transfer is only possible if you have fulfilled the program’s prerequisite(s) to sign up for this examination. If you have not yet completed these prerequisite exam(s), you have to take it/them before you can use the self-service credit transfer option.

Taking examinations for your WU degree program at another Austrian university or university college for teacher education is only permissible if:

• The exam is intended to replace a free elective at WU

• You have had the examination from another Austrian university or university college for teacher education approved in advance, because that particular examination is not available at WU (e.g. due to the expiration of a curriculum version)

All courses that require an examination as offered by any recognized university can be transferred as free electives. Up to 13 ECTS credits can be transferred as free electives (or up to 14 ECTS credits in the 2012 version of the Bachelor’s Program in Business, Economics and Social Sciences). We recommend waiting to have credits for free electives transferred until after you have returned from your stay abroad, as ECTS credits never expire.
