✅ Entry Requirements
Academic qualification
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| School-leaving qualification (university entrance) or equivalent | International applicants can access the Bachelor’s program with Abitur or Hochschulreife (university entrance qualification) or equivalent foreign qualifications that give you comparable access to university study. Euro-FH states that the study access to the Bachelor is also possible without Abitur under alternative routes. |
| Alternative admission routes without Abitur (foreign applicants may need assessment) | If you do not have Abitur/Hochschulreife, Euro-FH describes admission routes including a specific subject-related continuing education examination (fachspezifische Fortbildungsprüfung) with a required advising/consultation meeting, or admission via completed vocational training plus relevant professional experience. When your credentials are outside Germany, Euro-FH evaluates which foreign qualifications are comparable for admission and recognition. |
Module matching by study area
| Study area | Match possible? | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Psychology and Child/Adolescent Development | Conditional | If you have previous study achievements, Euro-FH may recognize them and reduce your learning load; the university indicates that recognition is assessed by reviewing your module handbook and grade overview. |
Language requirements
As the Euro-FH Bachelor Kinder- & Jugendpsychologie is designed for international applicants studying in an international study setting, you should be able to follow and complete learning materials and exams in English. The university also provides an English self-test for Bachelor applicants to assess whether your current school English knowledge is sufficient for entry.
💶 Fees & Funding
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition | EUR 0 / per month | The program page lists a starting study cost of “Ab 259 €/Monat” and other “Kostenlose Verlängerung” conditions, but it does not publish a single fixed annual tuition amount. |
Proof of financial resources
Euro-FH tuition fees apply for this distance-learning Bachelor, and international students should also plan for Germany visa-related living-cost requirements. For a visa application, you will need to meet the financial proof rules set by German authorities (for example, demonstrating sufficient funds for living costs).
