1. International applicants must first have their school leaving qualification recognised as equivalent to the German higher education entrance qualification.

2. If the qualification is not directly recognised, students may need to complete a Studienkolleg and pass the Feststellungsprüfung entrance examination before applying.

3. Most Bachelor’s programs at HTWG are taught in German, so applicants must provide proof of German language proficiency at C1 level, such as DSH 2, TestDaF, or telc C1 Hochschule.

4. Applications may be submitted before the test, but proof must be provided before enrolment.

5. Applicants must submit an online application through the HTWG portal along with required documents such as school certificates, transcripts, CV, and proof of language proficiency.

6. In addition, all Bachelor applicants must complete a mandatory orientation test, and international students with foreign qualifications must have their documents verified by the Studienkolleg Konstanz.

7. For some programs, additional requirements may include program specific prerequisites, interviews, or aptitude checks, especially in design or specialized technical fields. Deadlines are strict, typically mid January for summer intake and mid July for winter intake, depending on the program.
