      with foreign qualifications FOR BACHELOR’S DEGREE

      Are you interested in a Bachelor degree course at Hochschule Fresenius – University of Applied Sciences and do you have a foreign qualification that is not yet recognised by a central recognition body in Germany? If that’s the case, Hochschule Fresenius – University of Applied Sciences has to send your documents to an external institution to verify that your qualification is equivalent to a German university entrance qualification. This verification procedure is subject to a charge.

      Please contact Mrs Brinkmann if you have any questions or require information on the procedure brinkmann@hs-fresenius.de; +49 6126-9352-67.

      The recommendations of the Conference of German Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK) relating to the evaluation of qualifications can be found in the following database: www.anabin.de. The verification bodies in Germany assess the qualifications in line with the recommendations, whereby the federal states or central recognition bodies have the authority to make a final decision on whether or not to recognise a foreign university entrance qualification.

      COOPERATION WITH THE STUDIENKOLLEG NRW

      You would like to start studying in Germany, but you do not have the necessary qualifications? If your foreign certificates do not permit direct access to higher education in Germany, you can create the prerequisites for taking up a course of study by taking the so-called Feststellungsprüfung.

      Hochschule Fresenius cooperates with the Studienkolleg NRW, which prepares you optimally for the Feststellungsprüfung. The district government of Cologne has commissioned Hochschule Fresenius to conduct the Feststellungsprüfung. Therefore, the examination takes place after the preparatory courses of the Studienkolleg NRW at the Cologne campus of the university. If you successfully pass the Feststellungsprüfung and meet the applicable admission requirements, we guarantee you a place for selected Bachelor courses at Hochschule Fresenius.
