Zeugnisse von ausländischen Hochschulqualifikationen Bewertung

Do you have a foreign university degree and would like to continue your studies at a German university? Find out more about the certificate evaluation here.

A certificate evaluation is an official document issued by the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB).

The certificate evaluation is issued in the form of a certificate. It states the level of the German educational qualification to which the foreign qualification is comparable.

It also informs you about the possibilities for continuing your studies.

The ZAB only issues a certificate for completed higher education courses. The ZAB certificate can be used to prove to the university that you have a university degree. However, the university ultimately decides on admission to the course.

The certificate evaluation is only a comparative classification.

The recognition procedure only concerns university degrees for regulated professions, i.e. access to the profession and the practice of the profession are bound by legal and administrative regulations to proof of a specific qualification or the professional title is protected by law.

The documents required by the ZAB to process the application depend, among other things, on the country in which the degree to be assessed was obtained. Please use the ZAB's "Preliminary check" for this purpose
