Students already admitted to the Faculty of Science may submit an application for credit recognition to the Credit Transfer Committee of the Faculty (CTC). The application must be accompanied by:
- the certified course syllabi for the subjects for which recognition is sought,
- the certified proof of completion,
- as well as a declaration in which the student consents to the verification of the authenticity of these documents by the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Pécs.

The application will be assessed by the CTC of the Faculty of Science, following verification of the authenticity of the attached documents. The CTC decides on credit transfer applications exclusively based on a comparison of course syllabi. The CTC rejects incomplete or uncertified applications.

The deadline for submitting applications is the end of the course registration period. First-year students may request an extension of this deadline during their first semester if their visa processing is delayed.

The credit shall be recognized if there is a 75 % overlap between the compared knowledge contents. Those courses whose credits were recognized got an exemption.
