Guidelines on how to apply

Read more about the application process and requirements
to enrol into a Bachelor's degree at UE.

Your path to a Bachelor’s degree at the UE

The application deadline for the winter semester is September 1st^* and for the summer semester February 28th (Non-EU: February 5th). After these deadlines, there will be a waiting list procedure for available study places each semester. If you already have a valid student visa for Germany, you can apply within the official application deadline.

^{* Please take into consideration delays e.g. with entry visa.}

Application for a Business, Tech or Sports degree

You can apply a year in advance for your desired semester start. You can complete the entrance examination without having a high-school diploma or an equivalent certificate one year before you plan to start your studies. That gives you certainty one year before about whether you will be accepted to study at UE or not. For sports sciences, there is an additional aptitude test required.

Application for an Art & Design degree

You can apply a year in advance for your desired semester start. Admission criteria for a place at UE are the university entrance qualification^* and a portfolio (see the requirements on the respective study programme page).

^{* In certain cases, you can also study without a school leaving certificate. The prerequisite is that you have a vocational qualification and then at least two years of work experience and wish to study a degree relevant to your experience.}
