Recognition of Study and Examination Achievements
If you have already completed achievements at other universities or in other degree programmes, you can apply for recognition of these achievements.

Your achievements will be recognised at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, provided that no significant differences between the competences already acquired and those to be acquired within the framework of the module at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam can be identified.
The basis for recognition is the lisbon convention, the Brandenburg university act and § 24 of the framework regulations for studies and examinations at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam.
Application
The application for recognition must be completed in full and signed and submitted to the examination service by e-mail. The application for recognition can only take place after enrolment at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. We recommend submitting the application for recognition directly at the beginning of your studies.
For the recognition of study and examination achievements, you have to go through the following steps:
Notes
Recognition when changing degree programmes and universities
If you would like to continue your studies in another degree programme or transfer to the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, you have the chance to enter a higher semester by applying for recognition of credits already earned.
For this, at least 30 ECTS credit points must be recognised in your target degree programme. In addition, the corresponding capacities for the higher subject semester must be released for degree programmes with restricted admissions. In this case, apply for recognition when you apply for a place on our university portal MyCampus.
Please note the deadlines: 15th of january for the summer semester and 15th of july for the winter semester!
Recognition of Flex modules
In all degree programmes at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, you can choose courses and modules of your own choice within and outside the range of courses offered at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam.
If you have completed courses at other universities or in other degree programmes, apply for recognition and have them recognised for the flex area of your degree programme.
