School certificateCountry rule
Your school certificate must count as a German higher-education entrance qualification (HZB). If it does not, the usual route is a Studienkolleg with an assessment test (Feststellungsprüfung) or one to two years of university study at home. The university makes the final decision.

Most bachelor programmes are taught in German and need German at B2 or higher (often DSH-2 or TestDaF 4 in all parts by enrolment); English-taught programmes need English proof instead.

Non-EU students pay €1,500 per semester
