Admissions
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. The aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure evaluating your ability to successfully manage the particular qualitative requirements of the Bachelor’s program.
In the first stage, your overall secondary shool grades and your grades in subject-specific courses will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted or invited to an admissions interview.
We assess your application considering your final Abitur grade (or GPA) and your four individual half-year grades (Halbjahresnoten) in German or English, Mathematics and an Advanced Natural Science.
Applicants who do not provide the individual grades in the mentioned subjects, we will assess your application considering the final grade (GPA) of your university entrance qualification and your performance in the admission interview.
Applicants don´t need to provide a language proficiency certificate. Proof of language skills is provided via the aptitude assessment.
A German higher education entrance qualification (e.g. the Abitur) is accepted as proof of German language skills.
