Educational Requirements

The Academic Evaluation Center (APS) verifies the documents of applicants who want to apply for studies in Germany with a Chinese, Vietnamese or Indian school or university degree. 

In order to get an APS certificate, you will have to register online on the APS website in Beijing, Shanghai, Hanoi or New Delhi.

The database on admission requirements of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) allows international students provides international students with the opportunity to check whether they meet the admission requirements for their chosen Bachelor's degree programme in Germany.

Additional Academic Experience in Your Home Country

Applicants from specific countries, particularly those outside the EU, may need to have completed additional academic experience in their home country, alongside their higher education entrance qualification. If this applies to you, you will be required to complete extra academic experience (the number of semesters needed will depend on the country where you obtained your school leaving certificate).

As a non-German applicant, you must meet the following requirements for admission to Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences (TH Rosenheim):

• You must hold a higher education entrance qualification that grants you access to higher education in your home country.

• Your educational qualifications must demonstrate sufficient knowledge to ensure that you can successfully undertake studies at a Bavarian higher education institution.

• You must provide evidence of the required level of German or English language proficiency, as specified by TH Rosenheim.

You may fall into one of the following categories:

• You have direct admission, either general or subject-specific.

• You need additional academic experience in your home country (the required number of semesters depends on the country in which you obtained your school-leaving certificate).

• You need to complete a preparatory course at one of Germany’s Studienkollegs.

• You are not eligible to apply with your current certificate.

In most cases, school-leaving certificates issued in EU countries, as well as in Great Britain, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, are recognised as valid university entrance qualifications in Germany.

Foreign educational qualifications that are comparable to a German university qualification allow for direct university admission in Bavaria. If these qualifications grant access to all study programmes in the applicant's home country, they will generally be recognised for all courses of study in Bavaria as well.

However, if the qualification is limited to a specific course or a select number of programmes, the admission requirements in Bavaria will also be restricted to these subjects or courses.

If university admission is granted based on studies completed abroad, the applicant will meet the qualification requirements for courses of study only within the same field or related fields in Bavaria.

Applicants from certain countries, especially non-EU ones, may need to gain additional academic experience alongside their higher education entrance qualification.

As a result, you may be required to complete an introductory academic experience in your home country, such as a specific number of semesters in a Bachelor's programme, or attend a preparatory course ("Studienkolleg") in Germany before applying to TH Rosenheim.

Studienkollegs in Germany are primarily designed to prepare students for German-taught Bachelor's degree programmes. Therefore, a B2 level of German language proficiency is required for the entrance exam at a Studienkolleg. Further information about Studienkollegs in Germany can be found at studienkollegs.de.

In Bavaria, the Studienkolleg Coburg is responsible for preparatory courses specifically for universities of applied sciences.
