When your courses have been choosen a Learning agreement will be drawn up. This document lists the learning activities to be followed and the credits to be achieved upon satisfactory completion of the course assessments. In general, the learning agreement is first validated by your home university and then forwarded to the host faculty at UCL. Agreed by all three parties, it is your guarantee that the activities which you complete satisfactorily during your stay at UCL will be fully recognized by your home university.
The Learning agreement is the reference document for managing your programme; all exchange students are entitled to expect that it is signed before they leave for UCL. Normally, the Learning agreement is put at your disposal by your home university. In particular, for countries participating to the Erasmus programme, the European model is mandatory.
