The student advisors at the Faculty of Business and Economics are responsible for the recognition of academic achievements/modules from other universities (national and international). Please do not contact individual professorships.

An overview of the general procedure for the recognition of courses can be found HERE.

Recognition of courses from international universities

The Study Abroad Advisory Service team is your point of contact for course recognition from foreign courses taken abroad. You can find more information about the recognition process on this website.

If you have any questions about the recognition of study abroad credits, please contact the International Student Advisory Service before you start your study abroad. Recognition on your return cannot be guaranteed.

You can find the office hours of the Study Abroad Advisory Service team on this website.

Credits that appear on a transcript of records from a foreign university are considered to have been earned abroad, regardless of how they were obtained. No distinction is made between face-to-face and online courses.

The date of the examination is the date on which the application for recognition was submitted to the Examination Office. This date will also be used to calculate all deadlines.

Recognition of courses from other German universities

For recognition of credits from other German universities, please contact the Student Advisory Service of the Faculty of Business and Economics. Office hours can be found on this website.

If the course you wish to have recognised has already been submitted by other students in previous semesters, please contact Ms Scheede or Ms Fedry in the Examination Office on +49 551 39-28822 or by e-mail at wiwipa@uni-goettingen.de
