Applications are normally open from approximately mid-April until 15 July. International applicants should start preparing recognition and language documents earlier.
Individual programmes may have different or shortened deadlines. Always confirm the current dates through the official Bachelor's application pages.
A timely, complete application is the first step. After admission, orientation activities and campus life help you find your way, meet other students and begin your studies with confidence.
Admission is based on formal academic and language requirements. The overview below shows which qualification and language certificates you need for your application.
You need a recognised university entrance qualification. If it was obtained abroad, your certificate is assessed through uni-assist and you require a preliminary review documentation (VPD).
uni-assist / VPDEnglish proficiency at level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages must be demonstrated with the application.
German A1 must be demonstrated by the end of the first semester. If your university entrance qualification was obtained in German, both language requirements are considered fulfilled.
Confirm whether your school-leaving qualification provides access to a Bachelor's degree in Germany. Recognition depends on the country, qualification and documents. Some applicants may need an additional preparatory route.
Check accepted English tests, minimum scores and possible exemptions for the relevant application cycle. Book a test early and make sure the result will be available before the deadline.
Collect certificates, transcripts, language evidence, passport copy and additional forms. Verify whether certified copies or translations are required and use complete, readable files.
Complete every field in the official portal, upload documents in the requested format and submit before the applicable deadline. Save confirmation messages and check the portal and email regularly.
The university reviews your application and may request additional evidence. Respond promptly. Admission is only possible when the application is complete and all current requirements are met.
If a visa is required, consult the German mission responsible for your location and book an appointment early. Typical topics include admission, proof of financing, health insurance and passport validity.
Accept the offer, complete enrollment, arrange accommodation and plan travel to Kempten. Keep essential documents available and note orientation, semester and authority appointments.
Requirements vary, but applicants should be prepared to organise the following categories. Only the official checklist is binding.
Visa rules depend on nationality and individual circumstances. Use the German Federal Foreign Office and the responsible German mission as primary sources. Do not rely on another student's case as proof that the same rule applies to you.
