Further Notes:
Verification of the international school degrees: HERE
The educational system in Germany is quite demanding, both academically and personally. For example, German students are required to complete an entrance examination which is administered after 12 years of schooling. The study program for the Bachelor of Science in International Business and Economics is exceptionally scientifically and theoretically oriented (in contrast to a Bachelor of Arts) and requires sufficient knowledge of upper-level mathematics. Therefore, we recommend that you have at least a "good" knowledge and interest in advanced mathematics to be sure to succeed in the study program.
In order to develop the necessary skills, applicants from many countries must complete one or two years of attendance at their home country's universities before they fulfill the German university entry requirements. Additionally, this year of study cannot be recognized by our program.
To demonstrate your English skills to be able to follow lectures and tasks, you must provide English skills on a high B2 level.
Recognized options HERE IELTS code: 2727
German language requirements are not requested by the study program, but very important for getting around on campus and in Germany.
Please, be prepared with a min. level of A2 = ca. 400h of classes, best offline.
