What formal requirements do you need to meet?

To be admitted to the Bachelor Business Management (B.A.) in English, you need one of the following qualifications:

• general higher education entrance qualification (Abitur)

• vocational baccalaureate
• alternatively: a professional qualification with advanced training, successfully completed trial studies, or one year of successful studies at a university in another federal state
• demonstrated English language skills (e.g. school leaving certificate with English or a recognized language test)

Admission is also possible without a high school diploma if you can demonstrate a corresponding professional qualification (e.g. master craftsmen, business specialists) or pass an aptitude test. A Numerus Clausus (NC) is not required.
