Admission requirements
For regular entry, the following general qualifications are required: the general higher education entrance qualification, i.e., the Abitur, the subject-specific higher education entrance qualification, i.e., the Fachabitur, or the subject-restricted higher education entrance qualification.
If you wish to study the accelerated programme in 4 semesters full-time, the following is required:
- You have completed an engineering sciences diploma or bachelor's programme.
- Or you have completed an economic sciences diploma or bachelor's programme.
In addition, you can of course enroll at AKAD University without having the Abitur. This is possible if, for example, you have successfully completed an advanced training course, such as becoming a State-certified technician. Or you have completed a vocational training, such as becoming an electrician. Subsequently, you have worked in this profession for at least 2 years. You then take a university aptitude test and, upon passing, will be enrolled at AKAD University for the distance learning programme in Business Engineering.
