Please note:

  • All applicant groups  (German nationals, EU-citizens and non-EU citizens) must apply through our Campus-Management-System C@MPUS. Please do not submit any paper applications!
  • You will not be charged an application fee. However, please be aware that in Baden-Württemberg international students who are not citizens of an EU/EEA country must pay tuition fees of EUR 1,500.00 per semester.
  • Also pay attention to the general guidelines for applicants that you will find on the Online application web page.
  • All your documents must be translated either into German or English by a licensed sworn translator. When applying, please upload your documents twice: the original version and the translated document as well.
  • The enrollment (after successful admission) takes place online via C@MPUS, just like the application.
  • Please read the application information on the study program websites.

When applying via C@MPUS you will be asked to upload various documents. You will need to scan these documents to your computer.

You should carefully read and follow the application instructions for Germans and international applicants with a German university entrance qualification. This is where you can see which documents you will be asked to upload in C@MPUS. Consult the application guideline for details.

Non-EU citizens also apply using the  Campus-Management-System C@MPUS.

  • The university entrance qualification final record that entitles you to study at university in your respective home country, together with the transcript showing individual grades
