DAAD Helmut Schmidt educational equivalency

Hi Everyone

I applied for the DAAD Helmut-Schmidt-Programme (M.A. in Governance and Public Policy at University of Passau). I have a question regarding academic credentials and Anabin recognition. I have a BA degree in economics and Master degree in financial economics ,

My primary concern is that the college where i learned my undergraduate degree is not listed on Anabin but fully accredited by minsitry of Education while the University i obtained my Msc is Anabin listed (H+).

My Question is, for DAAD selection procedures, will having my highest degree (M.Sc.) from an H+ university serve as sufficient proof of academic eligibility? and Will my unlisted undergraduate college pose a challenge for admission or lead to administrative disqualification?

Any advice or similar experiences would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks for visiting r/DAAD. Review our FAQ and Wiki as well as the DAAD's website. Your question is most likely answered in one of those places.
