Academic Qualification

You must hold a valid higher education entrance qualification such as the German Abitur or an equivalent international qualification recognized via the Anabin database or Uni?Assist. Some applicants may qualify via vocational training or alternative approved pathways (§21 APB). 

Language Proficiency

For most Bachelor programmes taught in German, applicants require German at CEFR C1 level. In limited interdisciplinary B.Sc. programmes taught in English (e.g. Cognitive Science, Computer Science), CEFR?B2 or IELTS/TOEFL proficiency is accepted. 

Application Documents & Process

International applications are submitted via Uni-Assist, including certified copies of diplomas, transcripts, proof of language ability, passport, and health insurance documentation. Some programmes may require interviews or aptitude tests (e.g., music, design). 

Performance Expectations (Guideline)

Competitive applicants typically possess a GPA around 2.5 (German grade) or 60% equivalent. While there is no strict numerical threshold, stronger academic grades improve admission prospects.
