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 they are equivalent.

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

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

If equivalence is established, recognition will take place. Recognition of non-university competences can be carried out with a share of up to 50% of the achievements to be acquired. In the event of successful recognition, this time or service does not have to be performed 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.
