Credit Transfer
If you have completed diploma courses in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, either at the PIL Unit at the University of Gothenburg or at another university, you can validate those provided they have not already been used in another degree and have come ECTS. If the courses are non-credit-bearing (e.g., PIL101, PIL102, and PIL103), you can apply to have them recognized as credits within the main field of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.
