If you have already completed academic credits in your home country or in Germany that you would like to have credited towards your studies at the College, you can apply for a higher semester. Applications are also submitted via Uni Assist.

Crediting of academic credits already earned

Your academic credits earned to date will be credited by placing you in a higher semester. Proof of your previous academic achievements must be provided in the form of a transcript in German or English.

Important note

For the summer semester, classification is into even semesters (2nd, 4th, 6th semester, etc.) and for the winter semester only into odd semesters (3rd, 5th semester, etc.). As the number of places available in higher semesters depends on the number of places available, it is advisable to apply multiple times, i.e. for the 2nd, 4th and 6th semesters (for the summer semester) or the 3rd and 5th semesters (for the winter semester).

Allocation of study places

Whether you are awarded a study place depends on the number of places that have become available in your desired study programme. Places are allocated in accordance with the Lower Saxony Higher Education Allocation Regulations.
