Learning Agreement

The Learning Agreement (LA) is a document that lists the courses you would like to take at the host university. The LA is required for grant application & (sometimes) registration at host university. Once it is signed by Radboud University and your host university, it means that your courses are approved. At the end of your stay, the LA is used for credit conversion.

Changes during your stay (after all parties have signed the LA) should be made via a During the Mobility form.

Recommendations for choosing courses on your Learning Agreement:

• Don’t take only beginner/introductory/first-year courses, but choose something that fits your academic level.
• Choose courses that are different from the courses you followed so far at Radboud University.
• You can use your exchange to follow courses that enrich your current bachelor or perhaps you can already prepare for a (pre-)master or explore new interests.
• Master students can only receive credits for MA courses.

Who will sign my Learning Agreement?

1. First, you need to sign the LA yourself, after you have filled in all the information.
2. International Office Arts* will check everything and sign it as well.
3. The host university will sign it in the end.

After it has been signed by all three parties, you should send it to the examination board & your grant application.

• Check if you meet the requirements for the programme abroad in the EER (Dutch: OER).
• Going outside of Europe? Check the credit conversion here.
• Do you have questions about courses & how to fit it into your study track? Contact your student advisor.

IMPORTANT: A signed Learning Agreement (LA) does not count as a confirmation of the number of credits that will be awarded at the end of your stay.

* If you're a student of the Research Master Historical, Literary and Cultural Studies the tutor will sign the Learning Agreement. If you’re going abroad for an internship, your supervisor will sign the Learning Agreement.
