Change of university

Do you want to transfer to HPI? Are you or were you already enrolled in a related master's program at another university and now want to transfer? For this, you must apply for credit recognition from the examination board. If you are classified into a higher semester, the informal application is submitted to the respective examination board. Those classified into the first semester apply through uni-assist e.V. (instructions above). 

The same procedure applies to international applicants.
