Requirements for enrollment

As a human resources manager, for example, you work in human resources development, in recruiting, or in employer branding.

You can easily enroll in the online studies in Human Resource Management at the Fresenius University: With a general university entrance qualification (A-levels), the general higher education entrance qualification or the subject-specific higher education entrance qualification, you can enroll immediately and at any time.

It is also possible to enroll without A-levels, for example, if you have completed a master craftsman's examination or a comparable advanced vocational training examination, such as the State-certified Technician or the State-certified Business Administrator. If you can demonstrate at least a two-year completed vocational training in a specific field and then at least two years of specific professional experience, you can also enter the study program through a university entrance examination.

By the way: If you have already completed a degree, you can save costs and time by having prior achievements recognized. Besides academic achievements, achievements obtained outside of a university can also be credited.
