Quote from Guest on November 10, 2025, 11:06 amHi, I was just going through your site as I’m about the take the testas for medicine and I found out about KL university. Do you know if the KL degrees can be used in Germany too? Or other countries in the EU?

This is a great question. So officially, they are recognized and accredited by the AQ Austria. Thus from the university side, the study programmes are legally valid and meet Austrian accreditation standards.However, each EU country is a bit different when it comes to licensing. Especially in a field such as medicine. You would likely need to undergo a formal recognition process to convert your degree to work in a different EU country. As stated, the laws differ between countries so you’d need to specifically look at the country you wish to work in. In Germany, for example, the “Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen (ZAB)” and the “ANABIN Database” system to assess foreign degrees. Karl Landsteiner Privatuniversität (KL Krems) degrees are accepted in Germany (KL Krems is listed with the top status in ANABIN). If this wasn’t the case, you would need to apply for a “Statement of Comparability”. I hope I explained that clearly enough.
