Self-assessment of qualification

Before you submit your documents to uni-assist and pay a fee for their review services, we recommend converting your grades on your own by using the Bavarian formula. This tool will give you a first orientation if your grades probably meet the qualification requirements for access to the master programme.

Another helpful link to check whether the university you graduated from is considered as a higher education institution, is offered by anabin(language is German only).
