AI Thread Summary
To finish a partially completed master's degree in automotive engineering after an extended absence due to illness, the individual seeks to transfer European credits to another university. However, many institutions require students to complete the majority of their degree at their specific university, making credit transfer challenging. This is primarily to maintain the integrity of their degree programs. The individual is exploring options for credit waivers but may face difficulties, as universities often question why a student would seek leniency if their original institution did not grant it. Additionally, the individual is preparing to take the GRE in hopes of gaining admission to universities in the U.S.

How to finish a partially completed degree?

Hi!My case is a very strange case.I was pursuing a masters in automotive engineering in Germany and after completing 2 years of course-work and many other certifications,I fell ill and had to return back home for treatment.Now,after 9 months of treatment,I am back on my feet and aiming to finish-off that 20% of my masters degree.

How can I go about using those acquired (European)credits and finish my masters in some other university?

Also,can someone give me an insight into 'credit waivers' in universities?country-wise would be very helpful.

1.My chances of getting back to the same university in Germany is proving very difficult. I've been ex-matriculated from the list.

2.I am giving GRE general this month to try my luck in US universities.


Thanks!

If you're trying to get rules waived, there will be an uphill battle, as every institution will be thinking "if his (or her) own university won't grant him a break, why should we?"
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science.

It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
