    Information for students going on a study stay abroad:

    The primary strategy should be to complete a similar course at the host university. Before your departure (before filling out the learning agreement), you must send the course guarantor information about the chosen course (or several alternative courses) that you propose as an equivalent (title, content, number of credits, possibly also the method of completing the course, etc.). If such information is not on the website, the Erasmus coordinators of the host university (or possibly the lecturer of the course) will likely provide it to you. In case of approval from the course guarantor, we will recognize the completion of a course as equivalent to this course.

    Only in cases where such a course(s) is not offered in a given semester at the host university, Strategic Management can be completed through distance learning. In such a case, the student contacts the guarantor of the course, who will provide information on the conditions for completing the course.
