acknowledge previous academic or professional experience, students enrolled in a Bachelor or Master programme of the University of Luxembourg can receive recognition for prior experience of relevance to their programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following experience may be considered as part of a request for recognition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior studies in formal educational programmes at higher education institutions (at level 5 or above in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/europass\/en\/europass-tools\/european-qualifications-framework\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer

courses completed as part of a previous version of the study programme at the University of Luxembourg after an interruption of studies, qualifications obtained in professional or technical education and training programmes.<br>Professional experience acquired as an employee or free-lancer, while self-employed or working as a volunteer, for a cumulative duration of at least three full-time equivalent years (please see also &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/admissions\/recognition-of-prior-experience\/access-studies-with-professional-experience\/\"><strong>Access studies with professional experience<\/strong><\/a>&#8220;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be considered for recognition, the experience must be in relation to the curriculum of the study programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"forms-of-recognition-of-prior-experience\"\n    >\nForms of recognition of prior experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The University can recognise your prior experience in the form of transfer credit or waivers or a combination of the two. As a result of the exemptions granted, you can also be placed into a higher study semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-facts-figures flex flex-wrap flex-col xs:flex-row xl:flex-col -mx-16\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-facts-figures-item\">\n    \n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper figure-stats\">\n<div class=\"figure-stats__value text-theme wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">1<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"figure-stats__description wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Transfer credits<\/div><\/div>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your experience corresponds to the learning outcomes of a given course or module of the study programme,  you can be awarded transfer credits. This may be the case, for example, if you have completed an equivalent course at another higher education institution. You may be transferred ungraded ECTS credits for individual courses, modules or entire study semesters that are part of the programme study plan. These credits count towards the minimum credit requirement for completion of the study programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To receive a diploma from the University, students need to have obtained at least 60 ECTS credits by completing courses taken at the University. This condition remains applicable regardless of the number of credits transferred.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-facts-figures flex flex-wrap flex-col xs:flex-row xl:flex-col -mx-16\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-facts-figures-item\">\n    \n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper figure-stats\">\n<div class=\"figure-stats__value text-theme wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">2<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"figure-stats__description wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Waivers without credit<\/div><\/div>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your eligible experience is equivalent to part of the learning outcomes or study requirements of a specific component of the study programme, it will not qualify for transfer credits, but this component can nevertheless be waived. No credits are awarded in this case. This may apply in the case of a mobility period or internship module which provided you with study experience abroad or professional experience, but in a different field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A waiver exempts you from the respective study requirements. Since no ECTS credits are awarded for waived courses or modules, waivers do not affect the minimum credit requirements for completion of a study programme. The Study Programme Director will propose a series of for-credit study activities through which you can acquire the credits needed to complete the programme. Waivers never affect more than 30 ECTS credits in total.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-facts-figures flex flex-wrap flex-col xs:flex-row xl:flex-col -mx-16\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-facts-figures-item\">\n    \n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper figure-stats\">\n<div class=\"figure-stats__value text-theme wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">3<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"figure-stats__description wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Advanced standing (placement in a higher study semester)<\/div><\/div>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been granted a sufficient number of transfer credits, the University can decide to place you in a higher study semester or year (advance your standing in the programme). Please note that this does not, however, exempt you from completing courses in lower study semesters for which you have not received transfer credit or a waiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Receipt of transfer credits and placement in a higher study semester may reduce the maximum duration available to you for completion of the programme.
