FAQs about the application

How can I apply and what admission requirements do I have to fulfil?

You can find out how to apply for a degree programme, which admission requirements you need to fulfil and how the application process works on the respective degree programme pages.

In addition to the formal admission requirements, you should have a good understanding of mathematics, abstract thinking skills, enjoy foreign languages and be interested in business topics. The degree programme also requires initiative, self-discipline and the ability to work in a team. For the international degree programmes, you should also bring flexibility and mobility with you.

Can I apply for a Bachelor's degree programme and submit my university entrance qualification later?

The school part of the university entrance qualification (Abitur or equivalent) cannot be submitted later. The practical part may only be submitted subsequently if a practical part is required for the full university entrance qualification (by 31.3. if the course begins in the summer semester, by 30.9. if the course begins in the winter semester).

Can I also get a place at university if I do not have a general university entrance qualification or a university of applied sciences entrance qualification?

The state of North Rhine-Westphalia has reorganised university access and thus study opportunities for persons who do not have or have not acquired a university entrance qualification for a university of applied sciences but have qualified in vocational education and training. Information on this can be found on the respective degree programme pages under the heading "Application".

How high was the Numerus Clausus (NC) in the past semesters?

In degree programmes with limited admissions, places at university are allocated according to Numerus Clausus (NC). NC is synonymous with "admission restrictions". This means that not all applicants can receive a place at university if there are more applications than places available. You can find out how high the NC was in previous semesters on the following page. | to the numerus clausus values

Do applicants with foreign school-leaving qualifications have to demonstrate knowledge of the German language before taking up their studies?

Yes, even before applying to a German-language degree programme, applicants must provide proof of sufficient German language skills, e.g. the Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang (DSH-2). There is no German language requirement for an application to our English-taught degree programme Global Business and Economics.

Can I have academic achievements credited to me?

If you have completed examination achievements at other universities or at our university in another degree programme, we can check whether there is a possibility of credit transfer.
Please contact Mélanie Reinders from the Academic Counselling Service.

Can I continue or restart my studies at the Faculty of Business Studies if I have finally failed an examination in a business degree programme at another university?

Applicants who have finally failed an examination after three attempts at a university of applied sciences or a university in the diploma or bachelor's degree programme Business Administration, Business Studies, International Business, International Management, Economics or in another related or comparable degree programme cannot be registered.
