📝 How to Apply
Prepare your eligibility documents (international/foreign qualifications)
Check the DIPLOMA admission requirements for international applicants and confirm that you can provide the required proof for access to Logopädie study. If you completed qualifications abroad, ensure your documents are ready for equivalence review. Start early so you can request certified translations and prepare your language proof.
Submit the online application
Submit your application during the published intake/application window using the university’s application process. Upload your required documents in the format requested by DIPLOMA and ensure all entries are complete. If you need an equivalence check for foreign qualifications, submit the education evidence you have available so the study service can review it.
Provide the language proof needed for admission and visa processing
Because the programme is taught in German, international applicants must submit the required German language proof. DIPLOMA states that at least B2 language proof is needed for the admission document set described for foreign students. Arrange your test in time so the certificate is available before the document deadline.
Complete document checks and final admission/registration steps
After submitting your documents, DIPLOMA will review your admission eligibility and the equivalence of foreign qualifications as applicable. If additional documents are requested, respond within the deadline stated by the study service or admissions contact. Once admitted, complete the next registration steps required to start your studies for the selected intake.
