Welcome home! We hope you had a great experience studying abroad. On this page you will find information on how to transfer credits from your exchange studies and how to complete the mandatory travel report after your exchange.
Transfer credit for your exchange courses
Once you have completed your exchange, you must apply to have your courses transferred and recognized at Chalmers.
Before you can do so, you need to obtain an official Transcript of Records from your partner university. The transcript must be in English and issued as an original document. It is your responsibility to find out how your grades will be sent, as they may be sent either directly to you or to your international coordinator at Chalmers.
Once you have received your transcript, you can submit your application for credit transfer. Please note that this process is not automatic—you are responsible for submitting the application yourself.
About transfer of credits
As a student who has studied at a Swedish or foreign institution, you can apply to have some of your education credited towards your degree.
Travel Report
After your exchange, you are required to write a travel report in English. The report is mandatory for all exchange students at Chalmers. It will be published in the Search Portal and serves as a valuable source of information for future exchange students who would like to learn from your experiences.
Exemption
Students who have completed their exchange at Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) in Taiwan and contributed to Asia Magazine through the Chalmers International Taiwan Office (CITO) are exempt from submitting a travel report.
Submission and Deadlines
The travel report must be submitted digitally via the Travel Report form in the MoveOn portal.
For exchanges covering the full academic year or the spring semester, the submission deadline is 10 September. For exchanges during the autumn semester, the deadline is 1 March.
After Your Erasmus+ Exchange
After your Erasmus+ exchange, you will receive an email from the EU system containing a mandatory survey about your exchange period. This survey must be completed in order to finalize your scholarship process.
To receive the final payment of your Erasmus+ grant, you must also ensure that certain documents have been submitted and approved. These typically include a certificate of attendance from your host university (such as a "Confirmation of Stay" or equivalent) and any additional documents confirming your study period.
Detailed instructions regarding the requirements that apply to you will be sent in connection with or after your return. Please note that the final grant payment is not made automatically; it will only be processed once all mandatory steps have been completed.
Become an Exchange Ambassador
Would you like to share your exchange experience and inspire future students to study abroad?
As an exchange ambassador, you may participate in information events, answer questions from students planning their exchange, and occasionally take part in presentations and activities related to exchange studies. Exchange ambassadors receive compensation for their work. The opportunity to become an exchange ambassador is announced before each academic year.
