Curriculum of my university

Question

I have heard that I do not need this document for applying for the FSP and KP. Is that correct?

Hello Mohammad, your question is very justified - many are unsure at this point. In fact, you don't need the curriculum of your university for registration for the Fachsprachprüfung (FSP) or for the Kenntnisprüfung (KP), as long as you opt for the Kenntnisprüfung. For the FSP, the Ärztekammern usually only require your ID card or passport, proof of the Approbationsantrag, a language certificate (usually B2 or better C1), your medical diploma in a certified German translation and a curriculum vitae in table form. The curriculum is not required here. You also do not have to submit a curriculum for the Kenntnisprüfung itself. The document only becomes important if you decide to apply for the individual Gleichwertigkeitsprüfung of your training - i.e. the so-called Gutachtenweg instead of the Kenntnisprüfung. In this case, the authorities must examine your curriculum in order to compare the contents of your studies with the German training. Since the amendment to the law in October 2025, the Kenntnisprüfung is the rule, while the Gleichwertigkeitsprüfung is only provided for in exceptional cases - therefore, the curriculum is almost never required today. In short: If you take the classic route with Kenntnisprüfung, you do not need the curriculum. Only if you want to apply for a Gleichwertigkeitsprüfung without KP, you have to submit it. All the best to you and best regards, Sophie
