RECOGNITION OF PREVIOUS ACHIEVEMENTS: GENERAL OR INDIVIDUAL?

Recognition or crediting of previous achievements? What sounds confusing at first glance is actually quite simple: You can have all the professional experience you have gained in the course of an apprenticeship (IHK degree) or work (e.g. further education and training) credited towards your degree at IU. On the other hand, the academic achievements you have already completed at a university will be recognised and will not have to be taken again.

In order to make the recognition of previous achievements as convenient as possible for you, you can either submit a general application or an individual application, or combine both if necessary.
