Recognition and classification procedure

Have you already studied and would like to enter a higher semester based on your previous academic achievements? Here you will find all information on recognition and higher classification

 


Excerpt from the matriculation regulations § 10 para. 5

War die Studienbewerberin oder der Studienbewerber in einem anderen Studiengang an einer Hochschule bereits immatrikuliert, wird sie oder er in ein höheres Fachsemester immatrikuliert, wenn sie oder er dies beantragt und durch Anrechnungsbescheinigung des zuständigen Prüfungsausschusses nachweist. Beantragt die Studentin oder der Student nach ihrer oder seiner Immatrikulation in das erste Fachsemester des gewählten Studienganges bei dem zuständigen Prüfungsausschuss die Anrechnung von Studien- und Prüfungsleistungen aus einem anderen Studiengang und wird diese gewährt, zieht das nach Maßgabe der einschlägigen Prüfungsordnung die Anrechnung der entsprechenden Studienzeit von Amts wegen nach sich. In diesem Falle wird die Studentin oder der Student von Amts wegen nachträglich in das entsprechend höhere Fachsemester immatrikuliert (Höherstufung). Das Nähere regelt die jeweilige Prüfungsordnung des Studienganges.

THIS IS A TRANSLATION FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES . ONLY THE GERMAN WORDING IS LEGALLY BINDING

If the applicant was already enrolled in another degree program at a university, he or she will be enrolled in a higher semester if he or she applies for this and provides proof of this in the form of a certificate of credit transfer from the responsible examination board. If, after enrolling in the first semester of the chosen degree program, the student applies to the relevant examination board for credit transfer of coursework and examinations from another degree program and this is granted, this will result in the corresponding period of study being transferred ex officio in accordance with the relevant examination regulations. In this case, the student will be enrolled ex officio in the corresponding higher semester (upgrading). Further details are regulated by the respective examination regulations of the degree program.

 


Please note:

If a change of university or continuing studies based on an existing degree does not apply to you, you must first go through the admission procedure (including pre-selection and aptitude test). The application for recognition can be submitted at the earliest after successful admission.

You can find information on the admission procedure by field of study here.
