Recognition of Academic Achievements

Information

This webpage is intended for

  • students of the Bachelor's and Master's programmes including the programmes for working professionals (SAPS) at Ulm University
  • external students who wish to change to one of these study programmes
  • Module students

If you are enrolled in Human Medicine, Dentistry, Molecular and Translational Neuroscience,  Molecular Medicine or Advanced Oncology please contact your programme coordinator.

For recognition of internally completed coursework (e.g. when changing the study programme) please mark the study and examination achievements in your transcript of records (ToR) from your previous studies and add the area in which they should be recognised. An overview of possible study and examination achievements with all details can be found below in the information on your study programme for the respective examination regulations “Programme specific information.” Add a note stating that you are applying for recognition and sign the ToR. Recognition is not possible without a declaration of will. This procedure is ONLY possible for identical achievements, e.g. the same exam number and the same exam name. Submit these documents to the Student Administration and Examinations Office (Studiensekretariat) unless specific programme guidelines indicate a different procedure.

To apply for recognition of qualifications obtained outside the higher education system please use the designated forms (only available in German). Please upload the form as described below.

Achievements cannot be recognised if you have already successfully completed the corresponding examination at Ulm University or you have already entered an examination process at Ulm University (examination registration or unsuccessful examination attempts).

Deadlines for applying for recognition of achievements

  • study and examination achievements that were achieved before the enrolment into the study programme took place have to be requested in the first semester after enrolment.
  • study and examination achievements that were achieved during the study programme have to be requested in the following semester after the change of the study programme.

Please note:

  • To be able to process the request (PDF file) the name of the examination to be recognised, the module number as well as the correct area where the study and examination achievement should be recognised has to be indicated. An overview of possible study and examination achievements with all details can be found below in the information on your study programme for the respective examination regulations “Programme specific information.”. Example of a correct filled in request form (currently only available in German).
  • In the compulsory area you have to specify an equivalent examination from your study programme.
  • In the compulsory elective area ideally you select an examination that closely matches the content, level and scope (ECTS credits) of the recognized achievement. If no suitable match is available specify only the area (account) in which the recognition should be applied.
  • For recognition of qualifications obtained outside the higher education system please use this request (only available in German).
