Students who go abroad as free movers or who participate in a short program do not have to conclude a Learning Agreement. However, if you want to be sure that your achievements from abroad are recognized for your study program at the KU, it is advisable to conclude an agreement for recognition.

From the 24/25 academic year onwards, agreements on recognition will exclusively be recorded via the KU credit transfer platform. More information is available via the following links:
