Subject Recognition and Approval

What we need

To start the process of getting a mark from another university approved, the following things are needed.

• The recognition document
  This can be downloaded here via „Compensation and recognition of examination performance“.
  Alternatively, the course director (Studiengangsleiter) is also able to give it to you.
• An official certificate stating the mark/grade of the subject.
• An official document stating the ECTS of the subject.
  When the previous university cannot provide the ECTS grading (e.g. the university was not located in the EU)
  • please provide theCourse_credit score of your country
  • or another official document stating the specified contact hours (hours with the professor/lecturer) and the expected hours for homework.
• An official document stating the content of the subject.

The Process

After getting your information, we will check the following:

• Does the German Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs recognize the former university?
• Is the former course's qualification level similar to what we provide here?
• Is the former course comparable in terms of the learned competencies?
• Is the former course comparable in terms of the level of practice?

After this check, you will get feedback on to which extent the courses in question can be recognized.
