University of Bayreuth

Academic Eligibility

Requires a school-leaving certificate equivalent to the German Abitur. Foreign diplomas are evaluated through uni-assist for equivalency; if not accepted, applicants may need to attend a Studienkolleg and pass the Feststellungsprüfung before enrolling. 

Application Process

Apply online via uni-assist (for most international applicants) or directly through the university’s portal for some programs.

Admission types vary:

Open-admission: No formal selection—simply apply and enroll within deadlines if you meet entry criteria.

Aptitude-based: Involves submitting a CV, competency presentation, and may include interviews along with transcript evaluation.

Numerus clausus (NC): Competitive entry based on final grades and available seats; apply via hochschulstart.de in parallel. 

Language Requirements

German proficiency (primarily CEFR B2–C1, or TestDaF/DSH as required by program).

Some hybrid or international programs may require English proficiency (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS).
