Academic Prerequisites

For your application you will need an authenticated copy of your University Entrance Certificate (HZB) valid in Hessen. If you receive your University Entrance Certificate HZB only after the application deadline, you must submit a certification of enrolment from your school and the last two school reports. If you do not have a University Entrance Certificate at all and do not expect to obtain it in the year of your application, you may apply for admission based on outstanding artistic aptitude. Successful proof of outstanding artistic aptitude in the Entrance Examination qualifies for enrolment in the Expanded Realities Programme without University Entrance Certificate.

Moreover you must give proof of English language proficiency through a Certificate (B2; IELTS; TOEFFL, etc.) or through an English grade better than average on your school report.
