How to apply with a higher education entrance qualification outside Germany

Please download our application form.

Step 1: Check entry requierements
Prior to starting the appropiate application procedure, please check if you are eligible for admission.
Because if you wish to study in Germany, you need a higher education entrance qualification (Hoch­schul­zu­gangs­be­rech­ti­gung, HZB). The Hoch­schul­zu­gangs­be­rech­ti­gung is a degree that qualifies students for a course of study. 

You can find out whether your higher education entrance qualification (UEQ) from your home country qualifies you to study directly in Germany at the anabin database (Short for: "Anerkennung und Bewertung ausländischer Bildungsnachweise" (Recognition and evaluation of foreign educational certificates). Also, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) operates a website where you can check whether your school leaving certificate qualifies you to study in Germany.

If you are ready to apply, please follow the application procedure below.
