✅ Entry Requirements
Academic qualification
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Secondary school leaving qualification (foreign qualifications) | International applicants need a university entrance qualification for bachelor studies. If your secondary school leaving certificate qualifies you to study for a bachelor’s degree in your home country but does not meet German higher education entrance requirements, the university states you can take the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences entrance examination. |
| Vocational qualification route (foreign qualifications) | The university also states that applicants can study without the typical German school-leaving qualification if they have recognised professional qualifications or a completed master craftsman qualification, depending on the specific route and eligibility. For international applicants, the key point is to meet the university’s stated Hochschulzugangsberechtigung requirements for bachelor studies. |
