Admission requires a university entrance qualification and the completion of an eight-week internship during which the students obtain basic mechanics skills (if the internship can't be completed before the start of the programme, it can be deferred until the end of the fourth semester). Further admission requirements are related to language requirements and are listed below.
Required language skills in German can be proven by one of the following: German "Abitur", completion of two years of school education in German, German as a school subject in the last eight years before acquisition of the university entrance qualification or successful completion of the DSH 1, Test-DaF 4x3 or a comparable test. If the German language skills are not met at the time of the application, students can still be admitted if they prove at least basic knowledge in German language (A2 level) at the time of their enrolment. In this case, German classes must be chosen as part of the studies, and students need to fulfil the language requirements by the end of the third semester.
Required language skills in English can be proven by one of the following: a university entrance qualification in an English-speaking country, completion of two years of school education in English language, English as school subject in the last eight years before acquisition of the university entrance qualification or successful completion of an internationally recognised test as stipulated in the admission regulations.
