On this page you will find information on what you need to think about when you return from your exchange studies. Find out about transcript of record, credit transfer, student exchange evaluation and how to share your experiences.

What do I need to do?

First of all, welcome back! Secondly, there are a few things you need to do now you have returned from your exchange.

Transcript of record

After you have completed your exchange, a Transcript of Records will be sent to us from your host university. If courses and credits correspond to your Learning Agreement, they can be counted towards your studies at Malmö University. Sometimes the Transcript of Records is sent directly to you, and sometimes to Malmö University.

All students must upload a copy of the Transcript of Records in the MoveON database under the tab 'After the mobility'. If the Transcript of Records is sent directly to you, you must also send a copy to your international coordinator.

Please note that only your credits, not your grades, will be published in Ladok. To show your grades from your exchange studies, use the Transcript of Records from your host university rather than the results in Ladok.

Upload your transcripts in the MoveON database

Apply for credit transfer

Submit your application for credit transfer in Ladok

If you have been on exchange studies, you do not need to read the general information on the Student Web about how to apply for credit transfer. Instead, follow these instructions and the guidance provided in Ladok.

Before you start your application process in Ladok

Before starting your credit transfer application in Ladok, ensure that your Learning Agreement aligns with the Transcript of Records from the university where you studied. If they do not match, contact your international coordinator. Only when both documents align should you begin your application in Ladok.

If you have an Online Learning Agreement, download it from MoveOn as a PDF.

If your Transcript of Records lacks date of issue, signature or stamp from the partner university, contact your international coordinator.

On the page “Enter what you want to credit” in Ladok

Here, you need to specify the courses (or elective semester) at Malmö University that your exchange studies replace. Use the courses listed in your Learning Agreement.

  • If the transfer concerns an entire course, select the course under “Choose course”.
  • If the transfer concerns part of a course you are already registered for at Malmö University, you can choose part of the course under “Select part of started course”.
  • If your exchange studies replace an optional course or semester in your programme, enter this in the free-text field under “Enter other”.

You can select multiple courses/options on this page.

On the page “Enter the basis of your crediting” in Ladok

Write “exchange studies” and the name of the university where you studied in the field "Enter other".

On the page “Attachments” in Ladok

Here you upload your Learning Agreement and Transcript of Records.

Continue following the instructions in Ladok and submit your application.

Erasmus+ grant for exchange studies

If you have been awarded an Erasmus+ grant then you will receive detailed information via e-mail about what you need to do.

  • Submit your certificate of attendance to MoveON. Your host university has to complete the document and sign it. They thus certify the actual start and end date of your studies. The actual dates are then the basis for any adjustment of your total grant amount and second payment.
    Template for Certificate of Attendance
  • Submit your Transcript of Records to MoveON.

You upload and submit your documents to MoveON. You use the form ‘AFTER NOMINATION: Document upload for mobility abroad’. In the section ‘Supporting documents’ you choose ‘After the mobility’ in the scroll down list and upload your document in the section ‘Erasmus+ certificate of attendance’ and 'Transcript of Records'.

Submit your documents to MoveON

  • Complete a participant survey to the European Commission. You will receive an automatically generated e-mail with information and instructions from the European Commission’s evaluation system at the end of your exchange. The invitation will be sent to you on, or after your planned end date.

Student exchange evaluation

We are grateful for the submission of your student exchange evaluation at the end of your exchange. Your report is valuable to future exchange students who can share your experiences.

Submit your evaluation in the MoveON database
