Within your subject or department, a coordinator will help you to choose your courses. At the end of your stay in Trier, you should collect your certificates from the various courses, and take these to your ECTS Coordinator so that they can issue you with a Transcript of Records. On the pages of the subjects ("Information" links) you will also find information on how many ECTS credits you will receive for the respective courses.

Here you can find a list of the ECTS coordinators responsible for different subjects, along with their email addresses, telephone numbers and offices. Any subjects where “NN” is listed as the Coordinator, do not have a specifically assigned ECTS Coordinator yet.
