Classification & Recognition

Hochschule Niederrhein. Your way.

Level Assessment & Recognition of Achievements

You can have academic achievements and examination results you have already completed recognised, or apply to be placed into a higher specialisation semester.

 

In particular, credit can be granted for work

  • which were completed at the Hochschule Niederrhein or
  • which were obtained at another university in Germany or abroad, or
  • which can be substantiated as part of a completed vocational training programme or comparable professional qualification, provided the legal requirements are met.

Individual certificates, certificates of attendance or further training undertaken outside a higher education programme or recognised vocational training (e.g. courses at adult education centres or comparable educational institutions)will not be recognised, provided these do not constitute creditable academic or training achievements.
