Apply - but how? Step by step to a successful Bachelor application

1a. For admission restricted programmes (winter term only!!): First you need to register with hochschulstart.de - here you will receive a BID and BAN number - these are important for later use.

The language requirements in the courses at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences primarily include English language skills. The individual courses make different demands on future students. Therefore, please also note the information on the pages for the degree programs.
In particular, the bachelor’s degree programs in Business Administration and Cruise Tourism Management require a language certificate .
You can find an overview of the recognized language certificates here: Comparison table for international language certificates .

In the Master's degree programs, the language requirements are regulated in the admission regulations.

Language requirements for foreign applicants
Applicants who did not acquire their university entrance qualification at a German-speaking institution need proof of German language skills at level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference. As a rule, this proof is provided by the German language test for university admission (DSH-2) or Test German as a Foreign Language (TestDaF) with 16 points. Other recognized language certificates are regulated by the regulations on proof of German language skills.
The responsible faculty council can lower the levels by resolution. This decision has only been made for the International Tourism Management (ITM) course. German language skills at level A 1 are sufficient for this course.
For all other courses, the language regulations apply without restriction. The faculty council does not examine individual cases. A decision is always made at the level of the course.
