Application Process for Master Programmes

Step 1: Get your University Entrance Qualification recognised

Applies only to applicants with a non-German Bachelor's degree

International applicants need a recognition of certificates for their application for HHN. Any non-German Bachelor's degree needs to be declared equivalent to a German degree. Find all Information below.

Applicants with international certificates must get their certificates recognised by the Center for International Students Konstanz.

Please be aware: You need to get your documents certified by a German Embassy and then send them in paper form via letter to Konstanz in Germany. 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.

Please note that HHN has to exclude you from consideration for a place in the study programme if you cannot provide the recognition of certificates by the application deadline!

In individual cases, recognition from uniassist can also be accepted, provided that this has already been done.

Learn more about the recognition process in this video:

Additional information for applicants from China, Vietnam or India

For study applications from China, Vietnam or India, the original certificate confirming the authenticity of their documents or the original certificate from the Academic Evaluation Center / "Akademische Prüfstelle (APS)" must be enclosed.

Step 3: Apply & Enroll

How to apply – go step by step:

Find your study programme in the lists below:

For study programmes with restricted admission only a limited number of students can be accepted. In this case, you must first apply to the study programme. Applicants are then ranked on the basis of selection criteria. Successful candidates will receive an admission offer.

For study programmes with direct enrolment there is no maximum number of applicants that can be accepted. Applicants who fulfil the general admission requirements can therefore enrol directly. 

Register online via eCampus portal. You will receive a confirmation e-mail.


Generally you can apply for only one Master. 

Exception: You can apply for a maximum of 3 related Master's degree programmes if they are in the same cluster. See the Clusters here. 

After you have completed the online application, you have to print or save the document "Application request" from the portal (eCampus) and submit the signed form with all necessary application documents to HHN.

You can either send your complete documents by email as one PDF attachment to the address

master-bewerbung@hs-heilbronn.de
