Recognition

The recognition of international academic achievements and examination results is an essential prerequisite for international mobility. At the Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences the regulations of the Lisbon Convention have been included in the framework examination regulations and a process based on these has been developed that is intended to create a transparent and binding procedure. The development of a database is also planned to provide students with a quick overview of previous decisions regarding recognition of qualifications and to simplify the selection of modules and courses at partner universities.
