In the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs in Informatics, as well as in the Bachelor's degree program in Information Systems, 30 CP credits can be earned as additional credits. Additional credits do not affect the scope or grade of the degree sought. Registration takes place online. All examinations from the entire KIT program can be selected as additional credits. In this way, for example, modules from other disciplines, faculties or degree programs can also be taken.

Only fully completed modules taken at KIT can be listed on the certificate. All achievements in the "Additional Examinations" area that are recognized and do not correspond to an equivalent KIT module are recorded under the "Additional Examinations" module, which is also noted on the certificate. The same applies to key qualifications and language courses. However, all partial achievements are listed in detail on the transcript of records. (For more information, see also the article Final documents)

Additional credits can also be used for the following purposes:

• Replacing one module with another
• Canceling a module -> rebooking

Please note that in the Information Systems degree program, it is not possible to transfer credits earned from the additional credits back to the study-relevant area and in the Informatics degree program this is only possible to a limited extent. In the Informatics degree program, it is only possible to transfer credits back to the study-relevant area if the degree program is completed or the minor studies are changed. Example: 6 CP are still missing for the completion of the degree program and the additional credits include one passed examination with 6 CP or two passed examinations with 3 CP each. Or: credits already exist in additional credits for the minor studies to be changed to.

It is also possible to complete additional credits in the teaching degree program. Please contact Student Services (SLE) or the Center for Teacher Education (ZLB) directly
