ECTS CREDITS SYSTEM

FOR REGULAR STUDENTS:

The exams take place in written form on the last day of the language course.

Our lecturers will correct the exams and send the lists of participants and grades to the language center, where all the original documents will be stored.

Students do not have to register for the exam via the from „Form for examination registrations“, which is only to be used for other exams.

Exception: PT7-students!

Students receive a certificate for the successful completion of each language course.

 

Students can get a maximum of 2 ECTS credits during their bachelor degree program (Modul Fremdsprache EDV-Nummer 331033).

Students can get a maximum of 2 ECTS credits during their master degree program (Modul Fremdsprache EDV-Nummer 253551).

 

In order to get the additional ECTS you EITHER have to:

  • have successfully completed a language course with 3 hours per week (SWS) (e.g. Russisch A2.1)
  • OR have successfully completed a language course with 4 hours per week (SWS) (e.g. Spanisch A1)
  • OR have successfully completed two language courses with 2 hours per week (SWS) each (e.g. Spanisch B1.1 and Französisch B1.2; Intercultural Communication B2 and Spanisch B2.2).

 

The courses do not need to be attended in two following semesters. This also applies for all courses taking place within the VESPA cooperation.

 

In order to receive your credits, please fill out the ECTS credit form and submit it together with the language certificate/s via email to sprachenzentrum@hdm-stuttgart.de. We will forward the form to the responsible examination office. The courses will be registered under the module “Optional subject from another course of studies” (EDV number 331033 or 253551 – Foreign languages).

 

Regulations for the language courses and exams

With the admission to a language course, the language center will register students automatically for the corresponding examination.

Registration will be carried out as an additional module in accordance with § 15 of the study and examination regulations. Additional modules are generally provided outside the overall qualification and are therefore not influencing the total ECTS points or the average grade. Therefore, additional modules can be repeated as often as required and can appear in the transcript of records as a registration or a failed performance. The advantage for students is that it shows the successfully completed language courses with level, grade and ECTS points. Upon request, the courses can be shown also in in the final transcripts of records.

 

 

FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS:

International students (Minors, Exchange and Erasmus) can attend German Courses and some of our foreign language courses, for example Intercultural Communication, English for Marketing and Business Skills Meetings. For some students these courses may be mandatory. Here is an overview about the credits for each course:

German Semester Course: 2 ECTS

Foreign Language Course: 2 ECTS

The language center will register the language courses and the final grades, according to the learning agreement.
