  Assessment and Classification for University- or Subject-Transfers as well as Second Course of Study

  Applicants that have already obtained credit points at other universities, or students at the Leibniz University Hannover who which to transfer to a higher semester, need to apply for an assessment and categorization of semester by their desired degree programme. Immatriculation in a higher semester is only possible if the subject advisory service of the desired degree has carried out a categorization recommendation and attached it to the application documents. The application for a categorization, therefore, needs to be carried out before the end of the application period. However, a categorization is not necessary if a subject transfer is requested into the first semester of the newly chosen degree subject; the application is sufficient here.

  Transfer Procedure:

  1. Categorization Recommendation by the Subject Advisory Service
     Seek out the subject advisory service (see the website for the respective subject) for the professional subject field and/or teaching subject, according to the area in which the categorization should take place. The Subject Advisory Service releases a semester recommendation according to the presented original documents about assessments and  examinations in the respective subject, the professional subject area or the Profession- or Economic-Teaching-Methodology. The form for the transfer recommendation can be found under downloads.

  2. Application to the Immatriculation Office
      The semester recommendation of the student advisory service are submitted with the application documents to the Immatriculation Office. You can be registered if there is a free spot in your desired semester of your desired degree programme. Please adhere to the application period (15.01. amd 15.07. of each year).

• Recognition of Teacher Education Degrees from Abroad (Adjustment Degrees)
  Generally it is possible to transfer degrees obtained abroad as long as the credits earned abroad align with the requirements for the Lower Saxony teacher education degree.

  Teachers from the EU including Norway, Lichtenstein, Iceland and Switzerland may request Degree Recognition through the guideline 2005/36/EG. Information on the recognition procedure can be found on the website of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Culture.

  Teachers from outside of the EU may request an Assessment of Equivalence according to the Lower Saxony Law regarding the Assessment of Equivalence of Professional Qualification obtained Abroad, also at the Ministry of Culture.

  Insufficient Teacher Education Qualification obtained Abroad

  If the examination of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Culture has determined which further studies are required for the presented degree in order to transfer into teacher education or be placed in the teaching profession, you may register for an auditor degree for the Adaption Course at the Leibniz University Hannover.
