Process of application
Which courses can be recognized?
Courses from the University of Göttingen: Courses that you have completed within another study programme at the University of Göttingen can be recognized if the course can also be elected in your "new" degree. Failed attempts will be recognized as negative achievements. For the recognition of courses from other faculties please contact the Service-Centre for Students.Courses from other German universities: All completed courses that could be relevant for your new study programme or are similar to an existing course can be reviewed.
Normally, bachelor students only can recognize bachelor's courses as well as master students only can recognize master's courses.
Have my courses already been recognized?
Please check in FlexStat if your course has already been recognized before making a request, because in this case it isn't necessary to check again.Pathway in FlexStat: Anerkennungen => Anerkannte Leistungen (nach ausländischer Universität) => Land wählen => Universität wählen => Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät wählen
If the course from your previous study programme or university has already been recognised in your new degree programme according to your examination regulations and not more than 5 years ago, please contact our Examination Office directly.
