Application Process for Bachelor Programmes
Step 1: Get your University Entrance Qualification recognised
Applies only to applicants with a non-German school leaving certificate
Before applying to HHN, non-German school leaving certificates need to be declared equivalent to a German school leaving certificate. You need a recognition of certificates. Check below for the category that applies to you.
Applicants with international certificates must first get their certificates recognised by the Center for International Students Konstanz.

Once they are received, the process takes about 3 to 5 weeks. Get started as soon as possible! Recommended deadline: June 1st for winter term / November 1st for summer term
You will be excluded from consideration for a place in the study programme if you cannot provide the recognition of certificates by the application deadline!
