If the academic components are not clearly apparent from your final transcript, please also submit a confirmation of the modules you have completed and the credits you have earned (for example, a module performance overview, performance record, or transcript of records).

For an application without a formal degree, the following minimum number of credits must be documented with a current transcript of records or a confirmation issued by the university of the current total number of credits at the time of application:

Please refer to the following website for information on how to apply for a VPD.

Applying for a VPD does not count as an application for the degree program. Be sure to allow enough time to apply for a VPD; the average processing time at uni-assist is 4 to 6 weeks.

The VPD must be submitted via the admission and enrollment portal by the application deadline.

Suitable proof includes the module catalog relevant to your study program and/or the respective study and examination regulations.

If, at the time of your application, you were or are enrolled in a master's program whose content is in the same academic field like the degree program you want to enroll in at the University of Potsdam, you must request a placement decision prior to applying for admission.

Information on how to request a placement decision can be found on our page 'Semester Placement and the Recognition of Credentials.'
