Recognition of study credits and examination results

Periods of study and study credits which you have earned in the same degree course at another music university in Germany will be officially recognised.

Periods of study and study credits which you have earned in other degree courses will be recognised, on condition that you can provide evidence that they are an equivalent level of study.

For periods of study and study credits at universities outside of Germany, decisions will be made according to the equivalence agreements agreed upon by the Conference of the Ministers for Education and the university rectors. The same applies to examination results gained.

Decisions regarding the crediting of periods of study, study credits and examination results obtained before acceptance into the study programme at the Cologne University for Music and Dance will be made by the Board of Examiners. Credits which were gained with the framework of a degree course done at the same time at a university outside of Germany will not be recognised.

Classification will be made within the framework of establishing artistic suitability.

The application form for the recognition of study credits and examination results is available to download. Please include with the application certified copies and certified translations of the relevant reports and certificates.

Please submit the application within four weeks after the beginning of the 1st semester to the Examinations Office at the Cologne University of Music and Dance.
