2.13 Admission and Registration
Exchange students are generally admitted by the International Center.
Foreign nationals applying for a Bachelors program in Germany must prove that
their educational background is equivalent to that required of Germans when
applying for admission to an institution of higher education in Germany.
University entrance qualifications have to be evaluated in accordance with the
uniform evaluation recommendations set forth by the Standing Conference of
