Information for Applicants with foreign degrees

The following additional steps required for enrolment apply to applicants from abroad. Please read the following carefully if this applies to you. Some steps require more time and should therefore be completed before the application deadline.

Applicants who have NOT obtained their higher education entrance qualification in the German school system, in Germany or at a school with German Abitur examination regulations must also submit the following documents when enrolling:

- Recognition of the higher education entrance qualification through preliminary examination documentation: use uni-assist exclusively for this. Processing can be applied for throughout the year and can take up to 8 weeks. The preliminary examination documentation must be submitted together with the enrolment before the application deadline! Further information on the procedure can be found on the website of the Registrar's Office.

- Language certificate for English language skills (B2): Only a language certificate from a recognised American or British language school will be accepted. If you are unsure whether your certificate is suitable, please contact our Student Advisory Service: feriel.bouhafa@uni-wuerzburg.de

 

The following points should also be noted for the Bachelor's programme:

- At the beginning of the programme, no proof of German language proficiency is required.
However, in the event of admission, students must achieve German language level B2 by the end of their degree programme. The University of Würzburg offers language courses that students can take for this purpose.

- Financial support for studies: The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers various scholarships to students from abroad who wish to study in Germany. Different application deadlines apply. Further information can be found on the DAAD website.
