OUR METHOD

Transparent by design.

DegreeLens compares user-confirmed coursework with published subject requirements. It gives you a structured review, not an admissions verdict.

Document extraction

PDF.js reads the text layer of a PDF in your browser. A conservative line parser proposes course rows. Scans and unusual layouts need manual entry. Extracted credits start unconfirmed.

Course normalization

English, German and selected Azerbaijani terms support local topic suggestions. Suggestions are never treated as university-approved evidence. You choose a mapping and confirm credits.

ECTS allocation

Confirmed credits are assigned to documented categories without counting the same credit twice across sibling categories. A nested subset, such as Hamburg Stochastics, also contributes to its Mathematics parent.

Human decisions

Degree equivalence, thesis standards, grade conversions, language evidence and selection procedures remain outside coursework arithmetic. Official admissions staff decide what counts.

Source policy

Program rules are curated from official university pages, with a recorded verification date and source URL for each requirement. Rules can change. Check the university source before applying.
