18.10 My study programme is changing the institution - is this an essential change?

This cannot be assessed as part of the notification of an essential change. If a study programme changes sponsor, i.e. is transferred from one higher education institution to another, this always results in a new subject of accreditation and a new accreditation procedure is required (if the receiving higher education institution is system-accredited, it must also initiate an internal procedure immediately). Please contact the Head Office of the German Accreditation Council as early as possible.
