Learning Agreement

The Learning Agreement (LA) is a contract between the student, the home university and the partner university.

Learning Agreement - What is that?

All students participating in the Erasmus+ programme must apply for a preliminary assessment for recognition via the faculty's Form A before the LA is processed.

As a rule, 30 ECTS-credits must be earned (= normal semester-workload analogous to Hohenheim), 24 ECTS-credits are obligatory if you participate in the Erasmus+ program. The LA includes all courses taken abroad.
The LA is a prerequisite for the mobility grant and consists of three parts:

  • LA before the mobility
  • LA during the mobility (nur bei Kursänderungen nach Beginn des Aufenthalts)
  • LA after the mobility (u.a. Transcript of Records)

Learning Agreement for the application

If you already need a Learning Agreement for your application, please send us meaningful course documents and, if applicable, the Master's certificate for the selected courses during the preliminary assessment. You can then start right away with the pre-check. Please note the information on the pre-check.

If you do not have any course documents for a pre-check, you can fill out the LA before the mobility directly and leave table B blank.

The LA for the application does NOT replace the LA for the mobility abroad.

Learning Agreement - Was ist das?

Alle Studierenden, die am Erasmus+ Programm teilnehmen, müssen, bevor das LA bearbeitet wird, zwingend eine Vorabprüfung auf Anerkennung über das Formular A der Fakultät beantragen. 

Zu erbringen sind i.d.R. 30 ECTS-Credits (= normaler Semester-Workload analog zu Hohenheim), verpflichtend sind 24 ECTS-Credits, wenn Du am Programm Erasmus+ teilnimmst. Das LA enthält alle Kurse, die im Ausland belegt werden.
Das LA ist Voraussetzung für den Mobilitätszuschuss und besteht aus drei Teilen:

  • LA before the mobility
  • LA during the mobility (nur bei Kursänderungen nach Beginn des Aufenthalts)
  • LA after the mobility (u.a. Transcript of Records)

Learning Agreement für die Bewerbung

Wenn Du bereits für die Bewerbung ein Learning Agreement benötigst, schicke bei der Vorabprüfung aussagekräftige Kursunterlagen und ggf. den Masternachweis der gewählten Kurse. Du kannst dann gleich mit der Vorabprüfung starten, beachte hierbei die Informationen zur Vorabprüfung.

Wenn Du keine Kursunterlagen für eine Vorabprüfung hast, dann kannst Du direkt das LA before the mobility ausfüllen und Table B leer lassen.

Das LA für die Bewerbung ersetzt NICHT das LA für die Auslandsmobilität.

Before you start the LA, you must complete Form A for a preliminary check for recognition. Then download the LA from Mobility-Online and complete it digitally.

  • Enter your name in the top right corner.
  • Enter Eva Veldman from the Academic Semester Abroad as your contact person in the "Sending institution" fields. Use outgoing@ua.uni-hohenheim.de as your e-mail address.
  • The English name for our faculty is "Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences". Please ask your host university for the contact person at your "Receiving Institution". This is usually the person with whom you are already in contact.
  • Tick the type of mobility and fill in the data on the duration of your stay.
  • Please also make sure to indicate your language level in the box for language skills and check the box accordingly.
  • Please enter your study level in the "Study Cycle" field: Bachelor's degree = EQF 6 Master's degree = EQF 7
  • Enter the appropriate code in the "Field of education" field: 0410 for business studies, 0311 for economics, 0320 for communication science.

The LA consists of the parts Table A (courses you want to take abroad) and Table B (recognition of courses taken abroad in Hohenheim either in the free elective area or for Hohenheim modules or suitable for the profile/specialization area).

Table A

  • Enter the start and end dates of your stay.
  • List all courses that you will attend at the host university. Please transfer the courses without any changes from the table "3. Information on achievements" from Form A.
  • A total of 30 ECTS credits must be completed per semester, and at least 24 ECTS credits are compulsory.

Table B 

The courses from Table A that you wish to have recognized must be listed in Table B (with the Hohenheim module titles or the corresponding profile/area of specialization).

Find out about the recognitin of achievements abroad and the preliminary examination (prerequisite for Erasmus+). 

Recognition in the free elective area:

  • Instead of the module title, enter "International module" with the module code 7771.
  • Enter all modules/courses that are to be recognized as a module abroad in the free elective area. If the courses have fewer than 6 ECTS credits, courses must be combined. In this case, two or more courses may be listed for a module abroad.
  • Enter the corresponding ECTS credits. There must be at least 6 ECTS credits for a module abroad.

Recognition for a compulsory module (specific Hohenheim modules):

  • The modules that are recognized in Hohenheim are entered here (= preliminary check with form A has been completed).
  • List of Hohenheim module titles and module codes.
  • There must be at least 5 ECTS credits for a compulsory module.

Recognition for a compulsory elective module (tailored to the profile/focus area):

  • The profile/focus area is entered here.
  • There must be at least 6 ECTS credits for a compulsory elective module.


Upload the completed and signed LA before the mobility and the pre-check for recognition (Form A) as a pdf file to Mobility-Online.

After the Erasmus+ Departmental Coordinator has uploaded the signed LA in Mobility online again, obtain the signature of your host university. The LA must be signed by all parties and uploaded to Mobility-Online before the start of your stay abroad.

Incorrect and incomplete LAs will be objected to and you will have to edit them again and upload them again if necessary.

LA during the mobility

  • Changes are still possible within the first four weeks of the stay abroad. These are entered in the "During the Mobility" section.
  • In the event of changes concerning recognition, a preliminary check is also mandatory here before the LA during can be completed. For newly added courses, meaningful course descriptions must again be submitted for an examination.
  • Download your LA during the mobility from Mobility-Online, fill it out completely digitally and transfer the information from the preliminary check.
  • There is also table A and table B here. In table A you indicate which modules/courses you remove from the LA before the mobility (deleted components) and which you add for them (added components).
  • In table B, the changes in recognition are noted: which modules/courses are then no longer recognised and which newly added modules/courses you would like to have recognised. If the changes cannot be mapped in table B, leave the field with the component code empty.
  • Upload the signed and completed LA during the mobility with the corresponding course descriptions as a link or attached as a pdf file and the pre-check for recognition (Form A) in Mobility-Online.
  • After the Erasmus+ Departmental Coordinator has uploaded the signed LA dring in Mobility online again, obtain the signature of your host university. The LA must be signed by all parties and uploaded to Mobility-Online no later than four weeks after the start of your stay abroad.

Incorrect and incomplete LAs will be objected to and you will have to edit them again and upload them if necessary.
