Questions about recognitions and certificate supplements
IMPORTANT: The deadline of two semesters from the start of the degree programme previously stipulated in § 78 para. 4 no. 2 UG, within which applications for recognition of examinations from previous degree programmes had to be submitted, was abolished by the last amendment to the UG. Since 1 May 2024, students are therefore once again entitled to apply for recognition of examinations from previous studies without any time restrictions. Students whose applications for recognition were rejected because they missed the deadline have the opportunity to resubmit their application for recognition with immediate effect.
