Please be aware that there are generally no credits are accepted by the chair for the Master’s Seminar Public Economics I and II for courses taken abroad, especially in the case of lecture-based courses.

One is responsible for making sure that the credits from courses taken aboard are compatible with the examination rules of your course of studies and the requirements of your area of study.

In the case of taking courses abroad in the area of “general economics”, meaning one completes only 5 ETCS at our chair, usually only learning agreements for 2.5 ETCS in the core area are concluded. If there are learning agreements for several courses at your host university, you must decide on one course.
