German Students
German students must make an appointment with the course coordinator in September or beginning of October and show the following documents:
B.A. certificate, higher education entrance qualification (Abitur), and an English language test score.
Students will then receive an immatriculation confirmation from the MAHASSA office, with which they can enrol at the Central Student Advisory Office.
Please note: German nationals who have obtained their B.A. degree outside of Germany should make an appointment with the
course coordinator at least 8 weeks before the semester starts and provide
certified copies of their diploma since the Akademisches Auslandsamt has to verify such certificates.
