Studientransfer means moving from one university to another and taking the credits you have already earned with you. Within Europe it works particularly well in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary medicine, because these professions are harmonised across Europe.
German Studium (studies) + Latin transferre = to carry across
university transfer, lateral entry, transfer

Depending on how far you have progressed, one to four semesters can be credited. The basis is your transcript of records, the course descriptions and the examination regulations of the receiving faculty.
Typical reasons are dissatisfaction with your current location, a looming examination problem, or the wish for a different place to live. The guide Transferring university within Europe covers it in detail.
