On our syllabi website - structured according to Bachelor - Master and Winter - Summer

In general, lectures do not need registration. Students just show up in the first lesson and sign in to the moodle course. The key to sign in is mentioned on the course page or in the session

Seminars always require an application. Please check the respective course descriptions on our department’s website, if registration or application is necessary and how to do it.

Exam registration (open in December/May) is absolutely mandatory also for exchange students!

Yes, it is possible. However, if you are enrolled in Business Administration, Business courses should add up to at least 60% of your schedule. As to registration, please check with the professor or Erasmus coordinator of the department concerned, if there might be any restrictions or specific registration processes.

If necessary, you can adjust your Learning Agreement after your arrival in Munich. Your final course choice should be set up latest during the first week(s) of lectures. Please hand in your final Learning Agreement within the first 2 to 3 weeks after the start of the term (either via an upload to the Dashboard/ EWP or via e-mail to heininger@lmu.de, depending on the commitment of your home university.)

No, most of the courses can not be part of the Learning Agreement. Only courses offered by LMU can be validated. Please clarify with me if the course is eligible, BEFORE you participate.

Via the LSF system - exam registration is in December/ May respectively

Please find all information concerning exam registration, regulations etc. on the official website of our

Information- and Service Center

Exchange students can check their exam results online in LSF (lefthandside). In case a grade is missing even though your classmates received them for that very same exam, please get back to me with your matriculation number and the title of the exam.

There are no extra dates for re-sits within the same semester. LMU students re-take their exams at the next regular exam date, which is one semester or one year later. This means, exchange students would have to come back to Munich to re-take their failed exams. However, some exams are exempted from this possibility. If you consider to re-take an exam, please get in touch with irc@som.lmu.de.

Please follow the description: Timetable and Transcript of Records

Your transcript of records will be issued on demand only. At the end of your stay, please download it from the LSF or let us know that you need a signed version (heininger@lmu.de).

Until mid March/ mid September. Transcripts can only be issued when all grades are available.

Considering the great number of students at the Business department, grading can take several weeks. While the IRC tries to issue transcripts as soon as all your exams are graded, we have no influence on the grading process itself. Please note: The more exams you are going to take at different departments (Economics excluded), the longer it will take to issue the transcript.

Please find our grading scheme here.

First of all please check our general LMU International office's FAQ

If any questions remain please get in touch with the colleagues contact details.

For semester dates, please see here. The end of lectures is followed by a 2-weeks examination period.
