Study abroad in Computer Science and IT Product Development

In the Database of previously transferred credits you can find which courses other students have taken and gotten approved for their exchange stay.

Once you have found some interesting courses at the host university, you should consider the following:

• Does the course content overlap with courses you have already taken as part of your degree at AU? If the overlap is too significant, your application to take the course abroad will be rejected.
• Do you meet the academic prerequisites for taking the course?
• Is the course at an appropriate academic level? As a Master’s student, you may be allowed to take a Bachelor’s level course if it is an advanced course at the host university and a similar course is not offered at AU.
• Is the course content research-based – i.e., is the lecturer an active researcher within the subject area or a closely related field? If the teaching is not research-based, your application to take the course will be rejected.

We will check all of the above as part of your pre-approval application, but you are doing yourself (and us) a favour by checking it in advance. Otherwise, you risk having your application rejected.
