Eligibility & Qualifications
For military officer candidates, admission begins with selection via the Bundeswehr Assessment Center (ACFüKrBw) in Cologne, followed by a physical and aptitude evaluation. Candidates must hold German Abitur or equivalent and commit to around 13 years of service including study Obligations.
For civilian applicants, entry is available under limited capacity and typically via partnerships with industries or federal agencies. Required is a university entrance qualification recognized under Bavarian law.
Language Proficiency
German-language programmes: Applicants must demonstrate proficiency (e.g. DSH, TestDaF) if courses are taught in German.
English-language tracks, such as select postgraduate programmes (e.g., International Security, Cyber Security), require CEFR B2 or equivalent.
Application Documents & Process
Submit an application via UniBw?M’s portal or partner authority (if civilian route). For military candidates, the university enrols them post-selection via the Bundeswehr. Civilian applicants must submit transcripts, certificates, language proof, and may undergo interviews.
Know moreWhile formal “campus recruitment” aligns with military commissioning, civilian students benefit from research-linked internships and recruitment via partnerships with industry, security agencies (e.g. BfV, BND), and corporate sponsors. Many civilian students are funded by companies like Siemens or Daimler in exchange for internships and employment.

UniBw M is one of only two federal universities in Germany included in two of the prestigious Excellence Clusters under Germany’s Excellence Initiative—“Cognition for Technical Systems” and “Munich Centre for Advanced Photonics”—recognizing its leadership in engineering, photonics, and cognitive-technology research .
Developed by German military doctor and UniBw M alumnus Roman Wölfel, this modular, rapidly deployable laboratory enables diagnostic testing (qPCR, ELISA, NGS) in emergency and outbreak settings. Deployed in West Africa during the 2014 Ebola crisis, Wölfel’s system became a technical standard in global outbreak response. It features foldable glovebox cabins with rigid polycarbonate walls for high biosafety and minimal infrastructure setup—even in inhospitable environments.
