ZAB anabin Statement of Comparability
GERMAN QUALIFICATION ASSESSMENT

anabin or ZAB Statement of Comparability

anabin Database

Germany's anabin database contains information about foreign universities, qualifications, and degree programs. Where both the institution and degree have the required evaluation, the database may provide sufficient evidence of comparability for certain purposes.

ZAB Statement of Comparability

When anabin does not contain sufficient information, an individual may apply to the Central Office for Foreign Education, ZAB, for a Statement of Comparability.

WHAT THE STATEMENT SHOWS

Comparison With the German Education System

Universidade

The Statement identifies the university and considers whether it was recognized within the relevant foreign system.

Degree Program

ZAB identifies the foreign degree and program and its status within the education system of origin.

German Level

The Statement may identify a corresponding German academic level, such as Bachelor's or Master's level.

Duração

Program duration and other academic characteristics form part of the Statement.

Mode of Study

ZAB's Statement can include the mode in which the foreign degree program was completed.

Digital Certificate

Statements are issued digitally and can be verified through ZAB's digital verification system.

IMPORTANT

Comparability Does Not Authorize a Regulated Profession

ZAB states that a Statement of Comparability does not itself grant professional recognition for a regulated profession. Regulated professions follow the procedure of the appropriate German recognition authority.

ELIGIBILITY

Institutional and Degree Status Matter

Recognized Institution

ZAB may refuse to issue a Statement when the university was not recognized at the time the qualification was awarded.

Recognized Program

A Statement may also be unavailable if the degree program was not recognized or if the qualification does not correspond to a qualification in the German education system.

Important Information

This page does not state or imply that ZAB, KMK, anabin, the German Government, or a German authority has evaluated, recognized, endorsed, or pre-approved Novaris International Christian University or its academic programs.

Whether a specific Novaris credential can receive a Statement of Comparability must be determined by ZAB through its own evaluation.
