If you can provide evidence of one of the above-mentioned school subjects in your university entrance qualification (Abitur/ Fachabitur), this will be included in the calculation of the procedure grade with a 3.0. If you can prove that you have taken one of the subjects as an advanced course (usually only in the Abitur, not in the Fachabi), this will be included with a grade of 1.0. The actual grade you had in the subject does not matter. If you did not have any of the above-mentioned subjects in your university entrance qualification, the criterion goes into the procedure grade with the grade 6.
When is a subject an advanced course subject?
- A distinction is made between performance courses and non-performance courses.
- As a rule, there are no advanced courses at specialized upper secondary schools. For this reason, applicants from this type of school are not normally allowed to specify Leistungskurse (advanced courses).
- The term "Leistungskurse" or "LKs" is not used uniformly throughout Germany. Therefore, the following designations, among others, are also recognized:
- LK = Leistungskurs
- LF = Leistungsfach
- P1 = courses at Leistungskurs level (in Saxony-Anhalt)
- Extra Leistungskursblock on the certificate
- eA = increased requirement level
- *) = increased requirement
- 1) = Abitur subjects with increased requirement profile
- P = profile subject (only Abitur Baden-Württemberg, regulation before 2010)
- N = inclination subject (only Abitur Baden-Württemberg, regulation before 2010)
- W = elective core subject (only Abitur Baden-Württemberg, regulation from 2010)
- K = Core subject (only Abitur Baden-Württemberg, regulation from 2010)
