Recognition of courses is not automatic but must be requested from the Faculty of Science.

Please refer to the relevant faculty website for information on the procedure and requirements: Recognition of academic achievements.

If you have already earned credit points for courses taken as part of a previous degree programme that are equivalent in terms of content and formal requirements, you may apply to have these courses recognised towards the compulsory curriculum.

If you have already earned credit points for courses taken as part of a previous degree programme that are not part of the compulsory curriculum, you may also apply to have these recognised as free electives, as described above (up to a maximum of 9 credit points in the BSc Pharmaceutical Sciences, 4 credit points in the MSc Drug Sciences, and 5 credit points in the MSc Pharmacy).

Transfer: In the of a transfer, previously aqcuired credits and grades are transferred. The requirements for graduation are not reduced, but the credit points are marked as “recognised”/“anerkannt".

Waiver: If the credits have not been acquired according to ECTS or have already been used in a degree, the recognition of the credits is issued as a waiver “Erlass". This means that no credit points are transferred, but that students have to acquire fewer credit points for the degree. The individual requirement profiles of the students are adjusted accordingly.
