Hochschulqualifikation ausländische Zeugnisse bewerten

The Länder of the Federal Republic of Germany have entrusted the ZAB with this task. The ZAB issues certificate evaluations for university degrees from all countries of the world.

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 of the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB).

The certificate evaluation is issued in the form of a certificate. You will receive this certificate in a short version and a long version. It mentions the level of the German educational qualification with which your foreign qualification is comparable.

At the same time, it will also inform you about your options for continuing your studies.

The ZAB only issues a certificate for completed university education.

The certificate evaluation is only a comparative classification. It does not replace recognition.

With the certificate from the ZAB, you can prove to the university that you have a university degree. Ultimately, however, the university decides whether you will be admitted to study.

• The degree certificate of the higher education qualification to be assessed in the original language
