Admission requirements
Required:
For access to the bachelor's degree programme, the legal provisions of § 58 of the Baden-Württemberg State Higher Education Act apply. This includes, among other things, possession of the general higher education entrance qualification (Abitur), subject-specific higher education entrance qualification, or entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences.
As an educator with appropriate training, you can start your bachelor's degree programme directly.
Don't have Abitur or Fachabitur?
Recognised further education and technical school qualifications (e.g. technician, master craftsman, business administrator, specialist business administrator, educator, etc.) in combination with a counselling session also entitle you to study.
If you do not have further education or technical school qualifications but have completed vocational training and have professional experience, you can start your studies after passing the university aptitude test.
From foreign prospective students, we require proof of German language proficiency. There are several ways to provide proof, such as:
- DSH-2 (German Language Examination for University Entrance)
- C1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)
- TestDaF level 4 (Test of German as a Foreign Language)
- A school leaving certificate equivalent to a German university entrance qualification.
Recommended Skills:
- English language skills at level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)
- Depending on the specialisation: Basics of social work, health management, personnel development, personnel management, nutrition science, nutritional physiology, biochemistry of nutrition, and/or educational psychology
Missing recommended prior knowledge can be acquired during the propaedeutics course alongside your studies.
