You are important to us – right from the start

The formal requirement for admission to a Bachelor program is a university entrance qualification ((such as Abitur or an international equivalent) or vocational training with several years of professional experience. There is no Numerus Clausus (NC - selection by grades). No portfolios, films, articles, etc need to be handed in before your application. And you don't need to do any internships before studying. However, a previous internship could help you when choosing your programme.

The most important requirements for success in your course are your own motivation and commitment. That's why we take into account both the formal requirements and detailed information from your personal interview. Study workshops and boot camps, events and personal study counseling are just a few of our regular offers for prospective students.
