Periods of study, coursework and examinations completed in degree programmes at foreign state or state-recognized higher education institutions are recognized by a higher education institution when continuing studies, taking examinations, taking up further studies or being admitted to a doctorate, unless there are significant differences in terms of the skills acquired.
The question of whether there is a significant difference is generally decided by the responsible examination board of the university at which the applicant wishes to continue their studies, take an examination, take up (further) studies or do a doctorate.
Special regulations sometimes apply to degree courses that conclude with a state examination. Please contact the respective university for advice.
