International Applicants

Hochschule Geisenheim University is a member of the uni-assist association (Service Center for International University Applications) which is jointly run by over 50 universities. Uni-assist is responsible for checking the application documents of all applicants with foreign certificates.

All university applicants who gained their university entrance qualifications (eg. Baccalauréat, High School) outside Germany must – regardless of their nationality – apply through uni-assist.

The following applicants should apply directly to Hochschule Geisenheim University:

• Applicants who have already had their documents certified by an officially recognized national institution for the recognition of academic documents of a German federal state, which is valid throughout Germany.
• Applicants who have already successfully completed the qualification assessment test (Feststellungsprüfung) in a German foundation course (Studienkolleg).

Please contact the Admissions Office of Hochschule Geisenheim University. We will send you the application form, which you should fill out and return to the Admissions Office, together with the relevant documents.

• Applicants who have already spent a period of studies at a German University and who are applying for a higher semester should also apply directly to Hochschule Geisenheim University. Please contact the Admissions Office of Hochschule Geisenheim University by email. We will send you the application form, which you should fill out and return to the Admissions Office, together with the relevant documents.

Applicants who have already completed a period of study at a foreign university should apply for a first semester via uni-assisit. If the application is successful, the Examinations Office will decide whether recognition of completed modules will be accepted.

Applicants, who wish to apply for a higher semester based on a period of studies, will have to initially apply for a 1st semester place through uni-assist. The Examination Board will check whether your qualifications can be recognized as well as whether you are eligible for admission to a higher semester.
