You can have credits from previous courses of study recognised in your current degree programme. This applies to academic achievements at your previous university, a university in Germany or abroad. This can be a change of subject within your university, a change of university within your degree programme, a change of university outside your degree programme or a stay abroad at a university.
You can also have non-university skills that you have gained during vocational training, for example, credited. These can be credited with a share of up to 50 percent of the services to be provided. Find out more about the details at your local university.
If you have passed the examinations at your previous university, you will be recognised if you have equivalence to your newly chosen course of study.
With the recognition of academic achievements or the recognition of knowledge acquired outside of the university, you may be able to be placed in a higher semester.
