The University of Osnabrück does not always give credit for all classes taken in foreign universities. Only the examination board (Prüfungsausschuss) of the appropriate School can decide when credit will be given to a student so that he or she can begin studying at a higher semester level. However, it is only possible to assess classes taken abroad when you are already studying at the University of Osnabrück. In order to start this process, go straight to the Admissions Office (Studierendensekretariat). There, you must fill out an application form that will be submitted to the appropriate examination board, along with the rest of your transcripts.
