Apply for recognition as a private university
Description
If you want to run a private university in Saxony-Anhalt, you must first have it recognised. Recognition is the basis for the designation as a university. Likewise, only then can university examinations be taken and university degrees awarded.
If a university has already been recognised within the European Union, this does not have to be done again in Saxony-Anhalt. However, a notification must be made and the recognition must be submitted.
The documents do not need to be available at the time of the initial request. The responsible department then informs in detail which documents are necessary.
There are administrative fees for recognition, which are calculated according to the time required. In addition, costs for institutional accreditation with the German Council of Science and Humanities and for the accreditation of the degree programmes by the accreditation authorities are due.
There are no deadlines to be observed.
Please contact the Ministry of Science, Energy, Climate Protection and the Environment of Saxony-Anhalt.
Further information can be found on the website of the German Council of Science and Humanities.
