Academic matters

Credit earned whilst on exchange is transferred to your Edinburgh degree.

teacher with students

Grades for courses taken at external institutions are not listed on your Edinburgh University transcript and are not included in the calculation of your degree classification.

Students must choose courses which relate to their Edinburgh degree and take a full academic load.

Your final course selection must be agreed with your DoS and any course changes made whilst you are away must have your DoS’s approval.

Please ensure that you keep in regular contact with your School (or Schools for joint Honours students) during your year abroad and advise them of your email and mailing addresses.

To find out the number and level of courses you require to take at each institution, please view the relevant Notes of Guidance.
