Change of university/cross-entry

If you have completed a large amount of coursework in another degree program or at another university, you can have this recognized and be placed in a higher semester of the Psychology degree program at the University of Siegen. The procedure is similar to that described above.

Please note that a higher placement procedure will only be reviewed if there is free capacity in a higher semester. Your documents will therefore be checked in September for the winter semester or in March for the summer semester at the earliest.

If capacity is available in a higher semester, the number of credit points that can be recognized and the higher semester for which you can be placed will be checked. We will send you the information about the recognized credits as well as a notification of upgrading by post. The notification of upgrading must be submitted to the Registrar's Office when you enrol.

Please note the respective deadlines of the Registrar's Office for enrolment in a higher semester. Once the applicable deadlines have expired, no further upgrading notifications will be issued.
