Hello @Shahidullah Ashna Thank you for reaching out to us. It is great to read that you have already started the process of acknowledgement with ZAB! An equivalent degree to a German one can make it easier to find a job. For job applications, you can consider attaching your diploma along with the document from ZAB. Additionally, you can find other helpful information regarding job applications and the needed documents here: https://handbookgermany.de/en/jobsearch-and-application#faq_109 . If you are interested in pursuing a master's degree, please note that an acknowledged bachelor's degree is one of the requirements. Additionally, you will need a German language certificate at the C1 level. However, please keep in mind that these requirements may vary depending on the university you are applying to. For instance, an international program may accept a lower German language level but require a higher English language certificate. Here you can find more information how to apply for universities. You should contact the university, you would like to go. They will check your previous degree and will tell you the necessary documents to apply. Please note that if you receive a positive asylum notification and your preferred university is located in a different city, you can apply for a change of city at your local foreigner's department. I hope this answers all your questions. If you need any assistance or more information, please feel free to ask.
