Credits

Credits at TU Berlin:

• Full-time option (7.5 UVic units): 30 ECTS per term at TU Berlin 

Course Evaluations at UVic: 

• Before departure, UVic students will be able to submit exchange courses to UVic for evaluation. The results will indicate how many UVic units each exchange course is worth, as well as the course equivalency.
• Students must use the evaluation results to ensure their exchange courses credits add up to the equivalent UVic units. The total number of units for each exchange term should be 4.5 UVic units for part-time exchange or 7.5 UVic units for full-time exchange.
• This course evaluation process will be made available and explained in detail during the pre-departure session in early October for Spring exchange terms and in late March for Fall exchange terms. Evaluations take 2-6 weeks to complete and will be emailed to students. 
• Course evaluations results are tentative until the end of the exchange term, when a second, final evaluation is conducted by OREM using the students’ exchange transcript, and the results are applied to their UVic record.

Student experience

Read about Noga's experience at the Center for Research on Antisemitism at the Technical University of Berlin.

"I’m most grateful for this experience and would highly recommend the exchange program for any student who is interested in the Holocaust and in the varied ways it is remembered and commemorated in Berlin. As I bid farewell to this city, I realize there is so much more for me to learn and discover. I hope to come back and do just that in the future!"
