Questions about recognition

Recognition of achievements from other degree programmes at the University of Regensburg and other universities

By far the most frequent recognition requests are for credits from the LA specialisation in mathematics/physics in the B.Sc. Physics programme and vice versa. There are therefore simplified procedures for this - please read the following sections.

For all other achievements that are to be recognised, an application must be submitted to the relevant examination board. This application can be found here (opens in a new window). (This PDF is not accessible). As a rule, this application must be made in the first semester at the University of Regensburg. The applicant must explain which course he or she would like to have recognised at the University of Regensburg for the externally completed course. The equivalence of the course must be proven by the applicant. For example, module descriptions and similar documents can be submitted. For example, module descriptions and similar documents can be submitted that document equivalence with Regensburg courses.

Ask the person responsible for the module you wish to have recognised to confirm the equivalence.

Recognition from the LA specialisation M/Phy degree programme in the B.Sc. Physics degree programme

Please complete this form (opens in a new window). (This PDF is not accessible) for the recognition of examination results from the LA specialisation in mathematics/physics in the B.Sc. Physics degree programme.

It distinguishes between three categories:

1) Recognition of a lecture from the University of Regensburg, which are identical in the LA vertieft and B.Sc. Physics degree programmes:

  • PHY-LA-GYM 01B in the teaching degree Physics in-depth includes the lectures PHY-B-P 1a,b,c from the Bachelor Physics programme.
  • PHY-LA-GYM P 05 in the physics teaching degree programme corresponds to PHY-B-P 7 from the Bachelor's degree programme in Physics.
  • PHY-LA-GYM P 06 in the teaching degree programme in physics corresponds to PHY-B-P 8 from the Bachelor's degree programme in physics.
  • Students who have successfully completed Linear Algebra 1 or Mathematical Methods from the Bachelor's Physics programme in the teaching degree programme can have this credited as
    PHY-B-P 2 can be credited.
  • Students who have successfully completed Analysis I-III in the teaching degree programme can have this credited as PHY-B-P 11.

2) Recognition of the following modules, which are more extensive in the Bachelor's degree programme in Physics than their thematic equivalents in the teaching degree:

  • PHY-B-P 3, PHY-B-P 4, PHY-B-P 5, PHY-B-P 6, PHY-B-P 9, PHY-B-P 10, PHY-B-P 12
  • Trainee teachers specialising in physics who are also pursuing a Bachelor's degree in physics may have completed the listed, more extensive modules, but these are only stored in FlexNow as the less extensive modules of the teaching degree specialisation. In these cases, students must ask the teacher of the relevant course to issue a certificate. This certificate can be used together with the form in the Examinations Office for Physics to add the course to the Bachelor of Physics degree programme. It is advisable to ask for the certificate to be issued soon after the course has been completed and not years later.

3) For all other achievements that do not fall into these two categories, the same rules apply as for any other recognition (see above).

Recognition from the B.Sc. Physics programme in the LA specialisation in Physics degree programme

Please complete this form (opens in a new window). (This PDF is not accessible) for the recognition of examinations from the B.Sc. Physics programme in the LA in Physics.

For all other achievements that are not defined in this form, the same rules apply as for any other recognition (see above).
