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 German Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (Kultusministerkonferenz). The application and admission procedures are conducted within this set of regulations. University entrance qualifications obtained outside of Germany are always evaluated by the central evaluation agency set up for this purpose by the state, the Ausländerstudienkolleg (ASK- www.ask.htwg-konstanz.de ). Master course applications are sent directly to the department. Documents required for admission and procedures to be followed are described in detail on the following pages. 2.14 Student Union (AStA) The AStA is a special interest group, making the voice of students heard in a variety of environments, such as university advisory boards. Student societies (Referate) are run each semester. These societies are clubs that meet regularly for leisure activities, ranging from sports to literature to board games. The AStA welcomes all students willing to actively participate in its activities. Students can obtain the International Student Identity Card in the AStA office for a fee. In Furtwangen, the office is located on the ground level of the B-building, room B 0.79. During the semester it is open every weekday from 8:30-12:00, telephone 07723 920 2297/1518.

3 Preparing your stay 3.1 Admission to Bachelor‘s programs As a general rule, entry requirement for admission to a particular Bachelor‘s program at a university of applied sciences is the possession of a university entrance qualification required of a foreign student to enter the same type of an academic degree program in his home country. Foreign nationals in possession of German university entrance qualifications may submit these. Foreign applicants with foreign credentials must have their entrance qualifications and proof of German language proficiency evaluated or confirmed by the appropriate evaluation agency, the Ausländerstudienkolleg (ASK), located at the University of Applied Sciences Konstanz. This procedure only applies to programs taught in German. Only after the ASK confirms the adequacy of an applicant‘s foreign credentials can the University of Applied Sciences Furtwangen admit the student. If the ASK deems an applicant‘s credentials inadequate, the applicant can be admitted to the ASK study center (Studienkolleg) in Konstanz. There, the applicant would study several different subjects; the emphasis depends on the applicant‘s choice of degree program. One of the required subjects is usually the German language. After attending classes for one or two semesters, the applicant would take the so-called Feststellungsprüfung (final examination in various subjects) and the DSH (German language examination). Upon successful completion of this preparatory program, the applicant would be able to gain admission at Furtwangen University of Applied Sciences. Applicants who hold one of the following language proficiency credentials are exempt from the German language examination (DSH): • TestDaF Zertifikat with an average of at least TDN 4. For further information please visit www.testdaf.de.Language • Certificate of the Standing Conference of German Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (Kultusministerkonferenz) - level II • Kleines Deutsches Sprachdiplom issued by the Goethe-Institut • Zentrale Oberstufenprüfung issued by the Goethe Institut • Feststellungsprüfung Deutsch at a German Studienkolleg. 14
