📝 How to Apply
Start your application process and submit your documents
Submit your application through the Euro-FH application process during the period you choose for enrollment. Prepare and attach the requested records overview and any supporting documents required for credential checking and admission decisions.
Complete language preparation using the university’s Bachelor English self-test
Before you begin, use the university’s recommended English self-test for Bachelor programs as early preparation. This helps you confirm whether your school-level English is sufficient for your study activities, and it supports you if you need to refresh English.
Confirm your admission path (with or without Abitur) for the Bachelor studies
Euro-FH explains that Bachelor access is possible with Abitur/Fachhochschulreife or via approved alternative access routes. If you do not meet the Abitur route, you may need to follow an alternative route that can include an entrance examination (for specific cases), decided as part of the admissions assessment.
Receive confirmation and proceed to enrollment
After the university checks your submitted documents, you will be guided on the next steps toward formal enrollment. Follow the university instructions for any additional items they request during the admissions process, so you can complete enrollment without delays.
