Mobility, without advance agreement

You can submit an application to the MACH/ MEI Examination Board for recognition of your achievements during a mobility program abroad. If you already hold an advance recognition agreement, please follow this link: Recognition from mobility, with advance recognition agreement 

If you do not hold an advance recognition agreement, or would like to have your achievement recognized differently than agreed, please read on.

Procedure of the recognition process:

  1. Students must complete the upper part of the application for recognition. They then submit the application with all the necessary documents to the module coordinator.
  2. The module coordinator completes the form. Once the MA has signed the form, he/she sends all submitted documents by internal mail or e-mail to the MACH/ MEI Examination Board (pa ∂does-not-exist.mach kit edu).
  3. After examination by the PA, the form is forwarded to the examination secretariat of the faculty (campus) or the KIT student service and the student is informed by e-mail. The recognition is then entered in the student file by the Examinations Office or Student Services.
  4. If the coursework or examination cannot be recognized, the student will be informed of this by the MA or the PA. Excessive differences in the depth of the material covered, in the content or in the requirements may be reasons for rejection. This information is mandatory, as under the Lisbon Convention the burden of proof no longer lies with the student, but with the university, which now has to prove that the work already completed cannot be recognized due to a significant difference. The fundamental principle of the Convention is that recognition can only be refused if significant differences are identified. The basis for assessment is the knowledge and skills acquired.
  5. In order to be able to make an appropriate assessment of the qualification already acquired, sufficient information about the acquired qualification must be available. The applicant is responsible for providing this information. The institution issuing the qualification has a corresponding duty to provide information to the applicant or the institution to which recognition is applied for upon request and within a reasonable period of time.
