These are the requirements for the Bachelor's in Business Informatics

For the B.Sc. Business Informatics at Wilhelm Bücher University, there are various ways to access:

Access option No. 1: You have a general higher education entrance qualification (A-levels), a subject-specific higher education entrance qualification certificate, or a subject-specific university entrance qualification.

Access option No. 2: You have a university admissions qualification recognized as equivalent by the Hessian Ministry of Culture (e.g. a master's degree or a certificate as a state-certified technician).

Access option No. 3: Studying as an auditor: You start your guest studies at our university without the three mentioned accesses and take the university entrance exam (HZP) after 2 semesters. For this, you must meet all of the following requirements:

1. You have completed at least a two-year vocational training in a field related to the desired course of study under the Vocational Training Act, the Craft Code, regulated by federal or state law.
2. You have subsequently carried out at least two years of full-time professional activity in a field related to the desired course of study.

If you aim to study a subject that is not related to the completed training or professional activity, then the knowledge acquired through training and professional activity must be expanded or deepened by qualified further education in a field related to the desired course of study with a minimum of 400 hours.

After passing the university entrance exam (HZP), we will change your status from auditor to regular student.
