Depending on the semester applied for, proof of the individual achievements of the transferring university may not be issued before 15 May for the winter semester or 15 November for the summer semester. You must prove that you have earned all the ECTS credits required for the first university degree qualifying for a profession, up to a maximum of 30 ECTS, by the time the application deadline expires.

Applying with vocational qualifications
