A request for transfer of credit can only be considered in combination with a complete application for AUC. The university programme must be recognised as and/or meet the criteria of a first year of study at a Dutch university. The year must comprise a broad programme of courses carrying at least 60 ecp.

Also note that not all courses completed at university can automatically be considered for transfer of credit. Depending on your educational background, a certain amount of university-level studies may be required for you to be admitted to a Dutch research university in the first place. University-level studies that are necessary for your admittance cannot be considered for transfer of credit. If you are not sure, please contact AUC Admissions (see link below). Please remember that evaluating diplomas and credits from international universities can take time.

 Please note that students can only receive:

• A 60 ecp transfer of credit (full year), meaning the student only studies at AUC for 4 semesters (2 years) to meet the full 180 credits, or
• A 30 ecp transfer of credit (one semester), meaning the student only studies at AUC for 5 semesters (2 ½ years) to meet the full 180 credits or
• Course waivers per relevant course. A course waiver does not substitute credits. E.g. if a student receives a course waiver for BRMS I, s/he still needs to acquire 180 credits, but does not have to take BRMS I and can use this ‘space’ as s/he sees fit. That particular requirement has already been met.

In order to submit a transfer of credit request, you will need to send the following information to the AUC Admissions Office:

• completed transfer of credit request form [see below]
• recent transcripts or official grade lists for all completed courses
• complete course outlines or descriptions for all courses

Students with a UvAnetID (student number)
If you already have a University of Amsterdam student number (UvAnetID), please use the form via the link below.

Students without a UvAnetID (student number)
If you do not yet have a University of Amsterdam student number (UvAnetID), please use the form via the link below.

Your transfer of credit request can only be considered after you have been formally accepted at AUC. The transfer offer will not be final until your official transcript or diploma has been received by AUC, documenting all the courses required and their grades. AUC may require that you achieve a minimum GPA or average grade before allowing the transfer.
