Checklist
Notification of study abroad
You remain enrolled at Leuphana University of Lüneburg while on a study abroad, but will be exempt from paying the student services fees for the period abroad. A notification of a study abroad has to be submitted to the Student Services via the International Center. Students with double majors are requested to submit one notification per major. Please send the carefully completed form to outgoing@leuphana.de.
Academic Recognition/Learning Agreement
You must complete a Learning Agreement in order to ensure the recognition of the credits you plan to acquire during your stay abroad. The Learning Agreement should be created before the start of the stay abroad, but in any case must be submitted to the International Center within five weeks of the start of lectures at the host university at the latest. Changes to the Learning Agreement have to be documented in a Modified Learning Agreement within five weeks of the start of lectures. The Modified Learning Agreement represents, if applicable, the final course selection at the host university as well as its recognition at Leuphana.
The person responsible for recognition confirms the eligibility for recognition by signature or e-mail correspondence. An e-mail confirmation is only valid if a clear assignment of host university courses and Leuphana modules (codes, titles, CP) is evident from the e-mail correspondence itself. In order to check the eligibility for recognition, the responsible persons need meaningful course/module descriptions. Note: You can recognize achievements from the curriculum of your own major, minor and complementary studies or degree program (GS). Courses you don’t wish to recognise are designated as "Additional Credit"/”Zusatzleistung” (no signature required).
Please submit the completed and signed (Modified) Learning Agreement as a pdf with email correspondence (bundled in one pdf) for review and signature to the in the International Center via email: la.outgoing@leuphana.de.
- Please use only the (Modified) LA form provided by Leuphana International Center.
- The forms have to be completed electronically.
- Please follow the instructions for creating the Learning Agreement.
- We accept all documents as a pdf via email/with digital/electronic signature - no originals need to be submitted.
- Incomplete forms cannot be processed.
The lists of the persons responsible for recognition are available on the following websites:
- Responsible persons for academic recognition Bachelor
- Responsible persons for academic recognition Master
Further information regarding course recognition are available can be found here.
Confirmation of Arrival and Departure
Please let the host university sign the form at the beginning of your stay and immediately send it to the International Center via e-mail. Before you leave the host institution get confirmation that you have completed your study abroad and hand in the original form at the International Center, latest until 15 July.
Request for extension of stay
The extension of exchange stay has to be approved by both the host institution and the home institution. If you would like to extend your stay, fill in the form, collect the signature from the responsible person at your host university and send it at least one month before the end of the semester at the host university to the Leuphana International Center for confirmation and signature.
After the approval of the extension:
- Send 'Notification of a study abroad' for the second semester to sandra.schnell@leuphana.de
- Send your 'Learning Agreement' plus the E-Mail correspondence (if applicable) for the second semester to la.outgoing@leuphana.de
Study Abroad Report
All outgoing students have to submit an experience report to the International Center after completion of their study abroad. These study abroad reports are an important source of information for both students who are planning a study abroad and Leuphana University for the evaluation of the exchange programmes in order to guarantee and improve quality. All reports that are released for publication are available at the information desk of the International Office.
Submit the experience report thoroughly filled in and signed (in one pdf) within four weeks of the completion of the study abroad, latest by 15 July to: outgoing@leuphana.de.
