Recommendations and reviews

Dear students,

Many of you turn to us for a letter of recommendation/assessment for a study abroad program or scholarship. If we can make an assessment, we are happy to support you. To make the process understandable and transparent, our chair has the following rules:

• We only issue letters of recommendation for students who have attended at least one course offered by our professorship. The course attended must have been graded with at least a good grade (≤ 2.5).

• If you have only attended a large course such as „Kosten- und Leistungsrechnung“ (“Cost Accounting"), we can of course only issue a grade-related letter of recommendation. Unfortunately, we cannot determine and certify personal characteristics ("social skills") for individual students due to the size of the course.

• We reserve the right to obtain additional information and, if necessary, to refrain from issuing a letter of recommendation based on this information. Therefore, please understand that all of the above points are prerequisites, but no guarantee that we will issue you with a letter of recommendation.

What documents do we need to prepare a letter of recommendation?

• Please provide us with a meaningful CV, an overview of your academic achievements to date, a description of your previous connections to the chair, and a meaningful description and justification of your project. Please send all documents in one PDF document to:

• The preparation of a letter of recommendation during the semester can usually take 2-4 weeks. During the semester break, this process may take longer (e.g., due to research stays, conference participation, vacations, etc.). Please take this into account when planning your requirements.

Do you have any questions?
