Use of Academic Degrees and Titles
According to the German Rectors' Conference, academic titles obtained at German universities may only be used in the form in which they were awarded by the German university in Germany and abroad. Furthermore, Germany cannot issue any legally binding requirements for the translation of German academic degrees (e.g. Dr. med.) abroad; this is determined by the respective destination country.
(Translated from German using DeepL)
The ministries of education and cultural affairs of the federal states are responsible for the question of how an academic degree, university title or university job title acquired abroad can be used in Germany. Insofar as the Federal Republic of Germany has agreements and treaties with other states on equivalences in the field of higher education, these federal state regulations take precedence.
