Credit transfer

A credit transfer is granted for language studies completed in the same professional field at another higher education institution. If the student has completed language studies of the same scope and level in a different professional field (not a different field of study), the student has to complement the language studies so that the requirements of field-spesific language skills are met. Application for Credit Transfer can be found on student desktop (eRPL service).
