Recognition of prior experience and/or entry into a higher semester of a Bachelor programme

In order to avoid duplication of individual study effort and to acknowledge previous academic or professional experience, candidates applying to a bachelor of the University of Luxembourg can receive recognition for prior experience of relevance to their programme. As a result, a successful applicant can be exempted from study requirements and thereby, reduce the maximum duration available for the completion of studies. 

The following experiences qualify for recognition: 

  • Credits (ECTS or other) acquired during previous studies, and/or 
  • Professional experience with a duration of at least 3 years full-time equivalent years (in a field of relevance to the programme). 

Recognition of prior experience by the University without continuing studies at the University of Luxembourg is not possible because to obtain a degree from the University, a student must have obtained at least 60 ECTS credits by completing the courses followed and offered by the University.
For more detailed information on the procedure for the recognition of prior learning, we advise you to consult our dedicated page.
