Recognition preliminary work

Change of university? Recognition of prior achievements

Did you know that you can shorten your study time and reduce your tuition fees with certain prior achievements? At ISM, it is easy to have your prior achievements recognized.

Have you already completed a degree, completed a commercial apprenticeship, have specific training and further education qualifications or want to change universities during your studies? Get in touch with us and we will check your documents without obligation.

This...

  • reduce your study time,
  • you learn new course content directly
  • and reduce your tuition fees due to the shorter duration

Which previous work is recognised?

Achievements that correspond to the scope of the module content of the selected study program are suitable for the recognition of previous work. For example, if you are studying Business Administration and would like to change universities during your studies, Business Administration modules can be recognised. The same applies to a commercial apprenticeship or further training as a state-certified business economist (Chamber of Industry and Commerce).

The recognition of achievements is therefore possible for:
  • previous academic achievements (e.g. from Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programs)
  • completed apprenticeships
  • further training qualifications (e.g. Chamber of Industry and Commerce)
  • previous achievements when changing university
  • professional experience
