You can find an initial overview of the process here.

You have previously studied in Germany

If you have previously studied at another university/college in Germany and find that courses coincide with module examinations that you have to take at Clausthal University of Technology (in accordance with the applicable program-specific implementation regulations), please do the following:

1. first make an appointment with the academic advisor responsible for you.You can find your student advisor on the page of your degree program.

Please note: Please complete the application as far as possible (see sample) so that the lecturers or module coordinators only have to enter whether recognition is recommended!

How does the interview work?

The responsible academic advisor will clarify with you for which module (partial) examinations recognition is possible (for compulsory elective modules, use this form if necessary and complete it according to the following sample ) and will

- issue a corresponding statement for modules that fall within his/her area of responsibility (sent directly to the Examinations Office) and - inform you who you can contact about other equivalent modules if necessary

2. contact other subject lecturers if necessary (this may be possible by e-mail).

Which documents are required?

- Same documents as above, but here the module description for the individual module to be recognized by the respective subject lecturer is sufficient - please also send the pre-filled form Statement for the subject lecturer with your supplemented student data

What do the subject lecturers have to do?

- Check the acquired competencies of the respective courses for significant differences and after completion of the examination - send the corresponding statement to the examination office

3. once you have contacted all subject lecturers, submit your documents in printed form to the examination office at TU Clausthal!

Which documents are required?

- All necessary documents are listed on page 2 of the application form. Please check them carefully for completeness before sending them. - If you have already studied in the same degree program, you must submit a clearance certificate!

Please understand that we will only process applications that are complete and in printed form!

Important information on recognition can also be found on the relevant application form. Please read this carefully, as some questions can be clarified in advance.

As soon as your application has been processed, you will receive a corresponding notification.

Please understand that we are unable to issue confirmation of receipt for individual statements from specialist lecturers and that recognition takes some time. We will check from time to time whether we have received all the statements from the lecturers for the modules you have applied for and will endeavor to process your application as quickly as possible.

If you have any further questions, please contact the administrator responsible for your degree program.
