What does an Anabin H+/- listing for your bachelor's university mean for APS and DMAT eligibility in Germany?
An H+/- Anabin listing means your university is only partially recognized, so some degree programs qualify while others do not. Check the Abschlusse tab for your exact degree title, and remember a strong dMAT score cannot compensate for an unrecognized program, since APS certification depends entirely on that specific listing.
Your university's H+/- Anabin listing simply means some of its degree programs are fully recognized in Germany while others are not, so your entire outcome hinges on where your specific degree falls, not on the university's overall label.
How the Rating Affects You
| Check | Where to Look | What It Decides |
|---|---|---|
| University level status | Anabin institution listing | Shows overall H+/- classification |
| Degree level status | Abschlusse tab, your exact title | Decides your actual APS eligibility |
| dMAT score | Separate aptitude test | Cannot override an unrecognized degree |
Steps to Confirm Your Status
- Open the Abschlusse section on Anabin and search your exact degree title and university.
- Confirm the classification reads entspricht or gleichwertig before assuming eligibility.
- If your degree is not listed as equivalent, apply for a comparability statement through ZAB instead.
My Advice
Check your exact degree title under the Abschlusse tab before you book a dMAT slot or pay any APS fee, since passing that test will not save an unrecognized program. If your specific degree is missing, go straight to ZAB for an individual comparability statement rather than guessing.
