Recognition of study achievements abroad
The Viadrina is an international university, which encourages students to study in a foreign country. Therefore we are in principle willing to recognize achievements gained abroad. The extent and the process of the recognition however will be different between the three faculties. The Faculty of Law, for example, is much more reliant to legal requirements concerning
the recognition of study achievements then the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Social and Cultural Sciences.
Nevertheless there are the following general guidelines for recognition in the three faculties:

- Study transcripts can only be recognized if a correlation to the subjects of the Viadrina exists.
