Bachelor's thesis supervisors will be contacted by the Practice Office around the middle/end of the processing period with information on how to apply for state recognition.

This certificate of good conduct is sent directly to the Praxisamt by the authorities. The completed application must only be sent to the Praxisamt in the original after the degree recorded in unisono.
