Learning Agreement

Before your departure, you must draw up a Learning agreement in which the courses you are planning to take at the University of Fribourg are listed.

When selecting courses and drawing up the Learning agreement, it is important to avoid conflicts regarding the day or course times. 

You can choose courses from all faculties (if the respective study advisor agrees), but please make sure that you choose a majority of courses in the study field of the exchange agreement you were nominated through. If your choice of courses does not meet this requirement, please contact us in advance to discuss your situation.

A normal workload at the University of Fribourg is around 30 ECTS per semester. Your Learning Agreement should include at least 15 ECTS.

Please send your signed learning agreement to the IRO to: 
international-incoming@unifr.ch.
