✅ Entry Requirements
Academic qualification
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Higher secondary / university entrance qualification | You can be admitted with a recognised school-leaving qualification that gives access to university studies in your context (for example, Abitur or Hochschulreife pathways are described as one access route). If you do not have Abitur/Hochschulreife, the university also describes alternative access routes for Bachelor studies, depending on your situation and proof documents. |
| Alternative Bachelor access routes (without Abitur/Hochschulreife) | Euro-FH describes admission routes for Bachelor studies that do not require Abitur/Hochschulreife, including qualification via a subject-related further training examination, and admission via completed vocational training with work experience (including an entry assessment phase described by the university). Applicants must follow the stated requirements and participate in the required university assessment steps where applicable. |
Language requirements
For this Bachelor’s programme, the university’s admission path depends on the qualification you hold (for example with university entrance qualifications or via other access routes). If you do not meet the usual school-entry route, the university may require specific assessment steps as part of admission; check the language and proof expectations in the programme’s official admission guidance for international applicants.
