Opportunity Card - Recognition for Qualified Degree
Hello,
I do have a few questions and will ask them individually so others can relate more efficiently.
Regarding the recognition process, do I need to apply for the process with ZAB before applying for the opportunity card if my university degree is shown as containing the highest rating on Anabin search. The online application asks only to submit screenshots of these results. And does not state if recognition confirmation is still required at the time of applying. Knowing this would help as the recognition process or statement of compatibility takes at least a month.
For reference, my Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration was earned from a reputable institution in the USA. On Anabin, the result did show it as an H+ and A4.
Thanks!

Hello @achoud90
Thank you for your question.
If both your institution and the degree program (Abschluss) are listed on Anabin and are marked as H+ (for the institution) and with a corresponding degree category for the qualification, then you do not need to apply separately to the ZAB.
In this case, it is sufficient to submit a printout of the relevant Anabin pages showing the recognition status of your institution (H+), and the evaluation of your specific degree (“entspricht” or “gleichwertig”).
Please note that a printout using the "Print" button on the Anabin website is preferable to a screenshot, as it includes the full official layout and makes it easier for authorities to verify the information.
I hope this has been helpful.
All the best!
