The Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB) is responsible for the recognition of higher education degrees nationwide. It also provides all the necessary information. In addition, the individual federal states and universities have established comprehensive programs to provide refugees with the best possible support in preparing for higher education, learning the language, and gaining admission to universities. Furthermore, the federal states have agreed to enable applicants who, due to their refugee status, cannot provide proof of eligibility for higher education to pursue a degree. A three-step process is designed to assess an applicant’s readiness for higher education. It includes an assessment of personal qualifications, immigration status, and educational background.
