Official notification of recognition

German nationals with a foreign higher education entrance qualification need to provide notification that their school-leaving certificate has been officially recognized by the Ministry of Education of the German federal state in which they are resident or in which they are studying. In Saarland, this service is provided by the Saarland Ministry of Education and Culture.

You will need to show that your foreign HEEQ has been officially recognized when you apply for admission to study at Saarland University, so please ensure that you obtain the necessary documentation in good time before the application deadline expires. Preliminary review documentation from uni-assist is not required.
