You studied in your home country and now want to continue your studies in Germany? Or you have a school-leaving qualification with which you can study in your home country and now want to go to a German university?

The prerequisite for taking up studies is a higher education entrance qualification in Germany. If the school-leaving certificate that entitles you to study in your home country is not sufficient, you can prepare for your chosen field of study in the"Pre-College" preparation programme or at the Studienkolleg Kassel.

Language skills

Most degree programmes at Fulda University of Applied Sciences are offered in German. This means that you need a very good knowledge of German to understand a seminar or lecture in German. As a rule, German language skills at level C1 are required. Proof of passing the "Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang", DSH for short, at level 2 is recognised.

Information on the DSH examination can be found here.

There are also some degree programmes that are offered in English. For these, you will need appropriate English language skills.

In addition, Fulda University of Applied Sciences offers bilingual degree programmes for which both a very good knowledge of German and English is required.
