Exams

    Welcome to the HTWG Konstanz Exams Page. Here you’ll find you all you need to know (and more) about Study and Exam Regulations (SPO), admission statutes, registering and deregistering for exams, grades and grade point averages, as well as the legal side of your studies.

    Transfer Credits

    If you completed courses or a bachelor’s intermediate exam at another university or college, you can request to receive credits towards your HTWG Konstanz degree.

    The Head of the Examination Board checks to see if the coursework is comparable to courses offered at the HTWG Konstanz (cf. § 24 SPOBa / § 21 par. 1 and par. 11 SPOMa).

    A relevant internship semester can also be recognized if it fulfils the guidelines for internship semesters based on the special section of the SPO according to § 8 SPOBa (§ 24 SPOBa / § 21 par. 4 and 11 SPOMa).

    This may allow you to start your studies in a higher semester.

    Transferring Credits from a Semester Abroad

    Information about studying abroad

    To receive credits for exams you took during your semester or year abroad, first contact your examination committee (PAV) and present your transcript from the foreign university. The PAV will then determine if the credits can be transferred and will forward their recommendations to the Central Examination Office.

    After receiving credits for the courses taken abroad, also send a copy of the data sheet to the Central Examination Office.

    Please note: You are not allowed to take exams that you failed at the HTWG Konstanz at a foreign university. Repeat exams taken abroad cannot be used towards your degree.
