Recognitions (in German only)
Generally, student mobility is welcomed. However, the following points must be noted (compare: § 78 UG 2002):
Recognition can only be granted if the ECTS credits allocated for the respective exam at the host university correspond roughly to those at the home university.
If the number of ECTS credits assigned to an exam in the Diploma Program in Italian Law falls significantly short, an additional exam must be proposed or demonstrated.
Recognition also only occurs if the exam was taken at the host university within a comparable program of study.
Therefore, it is requested that all requests for recognition of exams include a current internet printout, showing not only the ECTS credits but also the description and study assignment of the courses that form the basis of the exams for which recognition is sought.
The written diploma exams provided for in the Innsbruck study plan in the main subjects cannot be replaced by an oral exam at the host university, even if they match in terms of ECTS credits. However, such an exam will be credited as part of the oral examination.
