Admission Requirements with a Foreign Degree

Degrees acquired at a foreign university will be recognized upon application if they are equivalent to one of the examinations mentioned in Section 6 Sentence 1. The doctoral committee determines equivalence. The equivalence agreements approved by the Conference of Education Ministers and the Conference of University Rectors must be taken into account. If the doctoral committee cannot make a determination about equivalence based on these documents, the Central Office for Foreign Education of the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs must be consulted on the question of equivalence; Their opinions must be taken into account and any decision deviating from this must be justified. The doctoral committee also decides whether there are above-average achievements within the meaning of Section 6 Paragraph 2. To determine whether the foreign final examination meets the requirement for above-average performance, the result of the foreign examination is taken into account in appropriate application of the "Agreement on the Determination of the Overall Grade for Foreign University Entrance Certificates" (decision of the Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of March 14/15, 1991 in the currently valid version) converted into the German grading system.
