Recognition of Studies Ø One of the main commitments of the EMA 2 Programme. Ø One of the top concerns of students and scholars undertaking a mobility experience. Ø It reflects the mutual trust among the Partner Universities, that show in this sense to be aware that: • • • The Partner Universities are all top-level Universites that offer high quality courses; The study programme at the Host University will be coherent with the study programme at the Home University; The study programme will be agreed between Home and Host University matching their academic offer. Erasmus Mundus Action 2 2011 Lot 13 AREAS Coordinated by Politecnico di Torino

Recognition of Studies For Exchange Students the study period taken within the AREAS project will be recognized in your Home Universities: • Learning Agreement/Work Plan proposal agreed with Home and Host University; • at the end of the mobility the Host University will issue a Transcript of Records in which are stated all the exams he/she has taken with correspondent grades and ECTS credits. Once back, the Home University recognizes the studies taken abroad and it transfers the corresponding credits to the local academic career. • Erasmus Mundus Action 2 2011 Lot 13 AREAS Coordinated by Politecnico di Torino
