✅ Entry Requirements
Academic qualification
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| University entrance qualification (foreign qualifications) | International applicants must meet the university access requirements for a Bachelor degree with foreign qualifications. Euro-FH states that access to the Bachelor studies is possible via different routes (for example with a higher-education entrance qualification, or other permitted pathways), depending on what your foreign school/qualification provides. |
| Admission route documents | Submit the documents that show which access route you meet (for example school-leaving qualification or permitted alternative route documents described by Euro-FH). If your eligibility is unclear, Euro-FH indicates that the Fachkommission can be involved via a consultation after your enrolment documents are reviewed. |
Module matching by study area
| Study area | Match possible? | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Education & Training | Conditional | Your previous education may be reviewed for fit and recognition based on the documents you submit. The programme page points applicants to the official admission and recognition process for enrolment eligibility. |
Language requirements
Euro-FH provides its Bachelor programme in a distance learning format and publishes the admission language requirements as part of its general admission requirements for international applicants. If you are applying with foreign qualifications, review the “Zulassung” and language sections on the programme and Euro-FH admission pages carefully, because the required proof depends on your prior education and the qualification route you use.
💶 Fees & Funding
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition | EUR 0 / per year | The program page states that you can study from 259 €/month; the exact yearly tuition amount for international students is provided via Euro-FH downloads after login. |

Proof of financial resources
For international students applying to study in Germany, you typically need to prove sufficient funds for your stay as part of the visa and residence process. Euro-FH’s programme page and its general admission guidance for distance-learning studies explain what is required for application and enrolment, while your German residence process follows official immigration rules.
