Video tutorial for a change of the degree program

The rules in the Enrolment Rules of BTU Cottbus apply to the change of a degree programme. The team of the Central Study Counseling stands available for support in the decision of the right individual study programme.

How and when may I change my degree programme?

A change of degree progamme can be applied for within the regular application deadline on the myBTU-Portal under Programme Offers > Programme Application.

How do I get academic recognition for the academic work I have already completed and will the modules I did not pass be deleted?
All of your academic achievements which are relevant to your new degree programme will be academically recognized, including both positive and negative grades. This means that passing grades and non-passing grades (including failing grades) will be counted.

For the recognition you will need to contact the Admissions & Registrar’s Office within the first two semesters after your enrolment in the new study programme.

What happens, if it is only possible to enrol in a higher semester?
If the enrolment in the chosen semester is only possible for students in higher semester, you will need a classification of the higher semester from the responsible examination board. For this, it is neccessary to upload an application of recognition, alongwith the application for the new study programme, on the myBTU-Portal. For each study semester you need at least 24 credit points that can be transferred to the new programme.

Important Note: If you would like to apply for a change of study programme, please re-register during the registration period.
