The anabin database of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs provides information on the assessment of foreign educational qualifications and supports authorities, employers and private individuals in classifying foreign qualifications in the German education system. The anabin database you can use to find out how your certificate will be evaluated in Germany. If you have completed university studies, you can also use the database to find out if your university is recognised in Germany. Use the english guide to anabin.

Yes, for the Master Program you need at least a 180ECTS Bachelor degree, 120 of the ECTS should be Computer Science core competencies (i.e. Mathematics, IT, Algorithms and Data Structures, Programming and Databases, Software Engineering, Network and Project Management). The European Bachelor + Master studies require 300 ECTS in total. Our Master program includes 90 ECTSs. I.e. if you can proof 180 Bachelor ECTS you can be approved for our Master program. Accordingly, you have to accomplish the remaining 30 ECTS. These ECTS can be accomplished at our University also during your Master studies.

The missing ECTS can be made up as follows:
- Module achievements that go beyond the required achievements of the Bachelor's degree program taken and are relevant to Computer Science.
- Further module achievements relevant to Computer Science can be obtained in any degree program (Bachelor's or Master's).
- Computer science-relevant achievements from non-university institutions can be recognized (e.g. opencampus.substack.com, etc.).
- Computer science-relevant work experience can be recognized with a maximum of 5 ECTS. The proof must be issued by the employer and describe the type, scope and duration of the activity.
