  • Detailed description

    Your passed and failed coursework and examinations as well as periods of study at the previous university will be credited to your newly chosen course of study if equivalence exists.

    In the case of recognition and recognition, the equivalence of your previous periods of study and academic achievements will be checked.
    In this context, the following are compared:

    • Content / Learning Outcomes / Quality
    • Level (e.g. Bachelor's, Master's)
    • Amount of time (workload) or presentation of the workload (ECTS credits)
    • Profile

    If equivalence is determined, recognition will be granted. Recognition of non-university competences can be granted with a share of up to 50% of the achievements to be acquired. In the case of successful recognition, this time or service does not have to be provided again. You do not have to take the corresponding exam (not even for reasons of grade improvement).

    Hint:
    If you change universities at the new university, inquire about the respective formalities.
