Prior to the Bologna Process, "Fachhochschule" graduates received a "Diplom". To differentiate it from the "Diplom" which was conferred by "Universitäten", the title is indicated starting with "Dipl." ("Diplom") and ending with "(FH)", e.g., "Dipl. Ing. (FH) Max Mustermann" for a graduate engineer from a "Fachhochschule". The FH Diploma is roughly equivalent to a bachelor's degree. An FH Diploma does not qualify the holder for a doctoral program directly, but in practice universities admit the best FH graduates on an individual basis after an additional entrance exam or participation in theoretical classes.
