01.5 In what form should the application documents be submitted?

The application documents can be submitted in the usual file formats (PDF, ZIP – file formats such as Word or Excel are only possible in ZIP archives). The maximum size per uploaded file is 25 MB. The Accreditation Council asks you to refrain from referring to temporary links.

In order to ensure an efficient assessment process, the Accreditation Council requests that the following be observed when submitting an application:

  • If the annexes to the self-evaluation report are combined into one document, a “clickable” table of contents is essential.
  • File names such as “Appendix a.1.2” cannot be assigned without further ado, so self-explanatory names such as “Examination Regulations for Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering” should be chosen for outsiders.
  • Different procedural statuses must be clearly identified. Ideally, documents revised in the course of the procedure should be summarized in a (zip) file; as a minimum, the version history must be clear from the name of the individual file. (For example, “Examination regulations old” versus “Examination regulations revised”)
