2. Learning Agreement
As soon as the digital Learning Agreement (DiLa, OLA) is available, we will inform you about it on this page. In the meantime, please use the Word file provided below.
The courses you would like to attend at the host institution should be listed on the Learning Agreement. Find relevant courses by looking at the list of courses provided by the university. We recommend you take 30 ECTS per semester. However, 15 ECTS per semester are compulsory (and must be listed on the transcript of records (and/or language course certificate) provided by the host university). Please note that you might be required to pay back the funding in full or in part if you fail to meet the requirements (Article 3.8 of the Grant Agreement).

Information about the form: Enter your courses at the host institution into Table A. Enter equivalent courses at the University of Greifswald into Table B to ensure later recognition. Make sure your Learning Agreement is signed by your subject coordinator. Also send it to your host university for signing.
