Bachelor Programmes

Admission to Merseburg University of Applied Sciences requires a university entrance qualification (in German: HZB). If your school-leaving certificate entitles you to study in your home country, you can usually also study in Germany. Depending on your home country, you may also need to prove a successfullly passed university entrance exam and/or started university studies in your home country.

Some school-leaving qualifications or university degrees qualify you directly for studying in Germany (in German: direct HZB); for others, you may first need to complete a "Studienkolleg" (preparatory course) and pass a the "Feststellungsprüfung" (assessment exam), prior to taking up studies at Merseburg University of Applied Sciences (in German: indirect HZB).

Depending on your educational qualifications, you can either study all subject areas in Germany (in German: general HZB)or only certain subject areas (in German: subject-restricted HZB).

With the help of this database, you can check whether your foreign previous education entitles you to study in Germany directly or whether you will need to attend Studienkolleg beforehand:

Studienkolleg (preparatory course)

It usually takes one year to complete Studienkolleg. Depending on the subject area in which you would like to take up university studies, you can choose the appropriate focus course at Studienkolleg:

T or TI course:         for technical and scientific subjects
W or WW course:    for subjects within social and economic sciences
M course:                for biological and medical subjects
S/G course:             for linguistic and artistic subjects or subejcts within the humanities

Once you have passed the Feststellungsprüfung of a focus course, including the German language exam, at Studienkolleg, you can take up university studies in the subject area of your focus course.
