The organisation of examinations (e.g. dates, content, assessments and results) has been transferred to the examiners appointed by the Examination Board in accordance with Section 7 (8) of the General Regulations. Therefore, please address examination-specific questions primarily to the respective examiners.
Study and examination achievements that were acquired during a previous degree programme or through suitable work can be credited if necessary. The prerequisite for this is that the content, skills and abilities acquired through the previous degree programme or suitable activity essentially correspond to the content, skills and abilities to be taught in the courses to be credited.
- If you apply for recognition/credit for coursework and examinations before you are enrolled at BUW, please submit an application to the School of Education Service Centre.
- If you apply for recognition/credit of study and examination achievements after you have enrolled at BUW, please submit an application to the central examinations office.
If you have any questions or need advice on the recognition/credit of study and examination achievements, please contact the Central Examination Office, stating your examination regulations / your intended degree (e.g. B.
