Requirements for enrollment

With your degree in Technical Business Administration, you could work, for example, in production, manufacturing, and service companies or in public enterprises.

Enrolling in the online course Technical Business Administration and Digital Transformation at Hochschule Fresenius is straightforward: With a general university entrance qualification (A-levels), general university of applied sciences entrance qualification, or subject-specific university entrance qualification, you can enroll immediately and at any time.

Access without A-levels is also possible, for example if you have completed a master craftsman's examination or a comparable professional advanced training examination, such as the State-certified Technician or the State-certified Business Administrator. If you can demonstrate at least two years of completed specialized vocational training and at least two years of subsequent specialized work experience, you can also enroll in the program through a university entrance examination (HZP).
