The world is moving closer together - these words are the best way to describe the global developments of recent decades. Particularly in the field of education, there are numerous points of contact beyond national borders, and the barriers to studying abroad have also been drastically reduced. As an open and diverse university, we actively strive for exchange with international students in order to facilitate education worldwide.
In order to study at HSD Hochschule Döpfer, you must have a recognised higher education entrance qualification. This means that a school-leaving qualification obtained abroad that qualifies you to study must be recognised in advance by the State Education Authority of Brandenburg.
Further information on this can be found here.
Do you need an initial assessment of your school-leaving qualification? Then take a look at the database"anabin - Das Infoportal zu ausländischen Bildungsabschlüssen" and find out without obligation.
Most degree programmes at HSD Hochschule Döpfer are offered in German. Proof of German language proficiency of at least level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is therefore required for admission.
For English-language degree programmes, proof of language proficiency at level B2 is also required - in English.
The corresponding language certificate must be presented at the latest at the time of enrolment. In justified exceptional cases, provisional admission may be granted, whereby the proof must be submitted within six months.
Information on recognised language tests can be found via the German Rectors' Conferenceand in the Framework Regulations on German Language Examinations for Studies at German Universities.
Even though the increasing internationalisation of teaching and research has already removed many hurdles, there are still formal requirements for studying in Germany. These include the visa requirement and the blocked account, health insurance and a residence permit.
