Many foreigners would like to move to Germany to work here and enjoy a lot of benefits of living in this country. However they are often faced with the question if their higher education diploma would be enough to apply for a certain job or continue their education in Germany. The matter of diploma recognition in Germany (Anerkennung in Deutschland) is really relevant for many people.

In the below video, we are going to tell you how you can check if your foreign higher education diploma is recognized in Germany using the ANABIN website.

If you have a university degree issued in another country, outside of Germany, and want to work in Germany, you might need a confirmation that your foreign degree is recognized in Germany or comparable to a German degree. For example, such a confirmation would be needed if you apply for a German Blue Card or a job seeker visa in Germany as well as in other cases. And, of course, there is a way to check your degree or diploma recognition in Germany and also get an official Statement of Comparability (Zeugnisbewertung).

There is a special portal developed by the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen or ZAB) — ANABIN. It can be used to check the recognition of foreign qualifications in Germany, recognition of foreign universities (ANABIN H+) and to get information on how to obtain the Statement of Comparability (section ZAB Zeugnisbewertung).

Our company Nexus-Europe GmbH assists foreigners who want to get a German residence permits by applying for the EU Blue Card or through business immigration. If you are interested in getting a residence permit in Germany or opening your own business in Germany, please contact us.
