Since you are enrolled at the FU for the entire period of your stay, your semesters will continue to be counted. If you apply for a Leave of Absence, the administration office will cease counting your semesters for the entire time of absence. This would enable you to finish your studies in the normal study length (Regelstudienzeit).

The respective examination office of your department will decide on which academic achievements can be recognized and counted towards your degree. Every department has a contact person for questions concerning this matter.

You can find more information about the various departments here. For more information, please contact the responsible Erasmus coordinator.
