Transfer Credits

Have you been admitted to the HfM Hanns Eisler Berlin and have previously studied at a music academy in Germany or abroad or at a university equivalent to the Hanns Eisler?

The Examination Committee may have placed you in a higher semester (flat credit transfer) or you can have individual courses and modules approved.

Recognition of these study and examination achievements must be applied for at the latest by the end of the first semester after starting your studies at the Hanns Eisler. Recognition for examination procedures that have already begun is not possible.

Transfer applicants can be placed in later semesters based on their musical abilities as determined by the Examination Committee. This means previously completed studies are officially awarded as a flat credit transfer.

The crediting process will take place during enrolment. Don’t forget to bring an academic transcript from your previous studies. Being placed in a lower semester than determined by the Examination Committee is not possible.

During enrolment, Student Services will check your academic records. If there are modules or subjects that you have not yet completed during your studies, your study plan will be adjusted so that you can complete these modules.
You will receive a study plan with all the subjects and modules that you must complete.
With your study plan, you can register for your courses and contact your lecturers.
If you are assigned to a course for which you have already received credit, please contact the respective module convener and the lecturer.

studium3(at)adm.hfm-berlin.de.

The student office will prepare the request for credit transfer approval and submit the request to the module coodinators.

The module concordinators will review your request and forward it to the exam board, who will process your request and return it to the student office.

The Student office will let you know if your request has been granted.

Please note: if your request is approved and you are already enrolled in the course, please contact the respective module coordinator and teachter directly.
