Recognition of Examinations
NOTE: During the beginning of the semester, inquiries and applications for recognitions or allocations will not be processed!
The recognition of examinations is regulated by the Universities Act 2002 § 78 Abs. 1.
Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Peter Thoman is the Associate Dean of Studies (Studienbeauftragter) responsible for the Bachelor and Master Programmes, the Supplementary Programme Computer Science , and the Teaching Training Programme Computer Science. Dean of Studies of the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics (MIP) Univ.-Prof. Dr. Thomas Franosch is responsible for the Doctoral Programme.
The form ‘Ansuchen um Anerkennung von Prüfungen‘ is available on the website of the respective study programme:
- BA Computer Science 2019W
- BA Computer Science 2007W
- MA Computer Science
- PhD Computer Science
- BA Lehramt Computer Science BEd
- MA Lehramt Computer Science MEd
- Lehramt Computer Science Mag.rer.nat.
- Supplementary Programme Computer Science
A recognition is not required for courses that are completed according to an earlier curriculum and stated in an equivalence list. The equivalences are shown in lfu:online. The exams can be transferred by the student. See lfu:online Hilfe/FAQ
Submit the completed application including all required documents (Admission Record ‘Studienblatt’, Transcript of Records ‘Bestätigung des Studienerfolges’ of the respective examinations) by E-Mail to lehre-informatik@uibk.ac.at. The signature of the applicant (Antragsteller/in) is also required on the page 'Niederschrift'.
Notification of the decision by E-Mail
The notification is available for inspection at the Prüfungsreferat Technik resp. at the Prüfungsreferat Innrain (Teacher Training Programme) – approximately two weeks after the notification.
Since the processing of notifications takes a certain amount of time, recognitions are not immediately visible in LFU:online.
Courses that are completed during the Computer Science studies may be used individually. In this case an allocation of confirmation (Zuordnungsbestätigung) is required:
- Informal E-Mail to lehre-informatik@uibk.ac.at
- Indication about the desired allocation (allocation for elective modules according to the curriculum: indication of the specific module, if possible from the same research group)
- Required documents: Transcript of Records ‘Bestätigung des Studienerfolges’ of the respective examinations, Admission Record ‘Studienblatt’
If you have questions:
email to lehre-informatik@uibk.ac.at
Examinations must be equivalent in workload (ECTS credits) and content to the courses prescribed in the curriculum.
An introductory seminar (Proseminar) without the corresponding lecture will not be recognised.
Please formulate requests by E-Mail short and concise. For courses that do not belong to the curriculum of computer science at the University of Innsbruck, we need a link to an official description. Optionally, send a short description of the teaching content.
