The admission requirements for the bachelor degree programme are a high school diploma or equivalent occupational certificate, including an internship; passing the entrance examination; and a personal interview. In exceptional cases, admission is possible without a high school diploma or equivalent occupational certificate. In such cases, the applicant must have completed vocational training, have at least three years of work experience, as well as pass a two-day entrance examination at University of Applied Sciences Europe.

No, admission to University of Applied Sciences Europe does not depend on your school grades. We have a specially developed entrance examination that is designed to get to know you better and find out more about your strengths and weaknesses. Your admission to our university is determined by the results of these tests.

Yes, you can submit the certified copy of your high school diploma or equivalent at a later time.

The application deadline for the winter semester is August 15th (Non-EU: July 28th) and for the summer semester February 28th (Non-EU: February 28th).

In general, courses at universities of applied sciences are more practical in nature. Lectures are delivered more so in the style of tutorials; that is, there is more interaction between lecturer and students. At University of Applied Sciences Europe, the practical orientation is particularly well developed, because our lecturers work in other (in some cases their own) firms in addition to teaching at the university. In contrast, universities provide an in-depth theoretical education that is generally more academic and less applied in nature.

State accreditation of the programmes is an important indication of the quality of a private university. The accreditation of individual courses ensures that the same standards are universally adhered to and that quality criteria are met. The same goes for state accreditation. Ultimately, this is the only way to guarantee that qualifications from private and state universities are at an equal level.

The titles Bachelor and Master have replaced the former German Diplom titles. This changeover took place as a result of European higher education reform, the so-called Bologna Process. The Bachelor titles (B.A. and B.Sc.) designate a primary university degree and professional qualification that can generally be obtained after six semesters. It forms the basis for the more advanced master degree (M.A. or M.Sc.). The master degree programme consists of a further four semesters and forms the basis for a doctorate. Consecutive master degree programmes of study build on the content of the respective bachelor degree programme and non-consecutive master degree programmes are, accordingly, separate from the bachelor degree programme. This hierarchical structure established comparable standards, which was an important step towards a European Higher Education Area.

The difference between the titles Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Master of Arts (M.A.), and Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and Master of Science (M.Sc.) lies solely in the orientation of the individual programme. The B.A. and M.A. qualifications are geared towards the social sciences and liberal arts, while the B.Sc. and M.Sc. qualifications are geared towards the natural sciences or are technical in nature.

The admission requirements for the master degree programme are: completion of a bachelor’s degree with a final grade of at least “good” (2.5), otherwise a letter of recommendation from the previous university is required, and a personal interview in German and English.

The application deadline for the winter semester is August 15th (Non-EU: July 28th) and for the summer semester February 28th (Non-EU: February 28th). After these deadlines there will be a waiting list procedure for available study places each semester.
