If you have had your certificates checked using the APS document screening process (“Dokumentenprüfverfahren”) without the APS Interview,

you need to submit certificates covering all of the years that you attended school, starting with primary school.
If you had your certificates checked using the „China-Verfahren“ then you do not need to submit your school certificates.

If you hold a German-Chinese double degree,

you will need to submit an Overview of subjects and grades from either your Chinese university or your German university.

• your Chinese Transcript must include all of the modules completed at the German university with grades in the Chinese Grading system.
• If you want to apply with your German Transcript, your degree will be evaluated as a German qualification. Please make sure if uni-assist is responsible for evaluating your application before you apply – you might have to apply directly to your chosen university.
