Required German skills

If you have acquired your university entrance qualification abroad, proof of German language skills is required when applying to h_da for a German-language degree programme. If you are applying for an English-language degree programme, proof of German language proficiency is normally not required. 
There are differences between the minimum requirements to apply successfully via uni-assist and the knowledge you need to be actually enrolled in a degree programme:

Minimum requirement to apply

You must be able to prove a minimum level of German language skills by the application deadline. The following certificates are accepted at h_da for this purpose, a certificate of attendance is not sufficient:

With these language certificates, however, you cannot enrol in a study programme. If you are admitted, you will also receive an invitation to the DSH course. Please note the minimum requirement for studies.

Minimum requirement for studies

In order to enrol for the desired degree programme, you must submit one of the following documents until 31.03./30.09 as proof of your language qualification:

Study preparation course German as a foreign language (for DSH)

If you have applied directly to a degree program via Uni Assist and you initially only meet the minimum German language level for application to h_da, you will receive an invitation to the DaF preparatory course in addition to the letter of admission to the degree program. However, you also have the option of applying directly for the DaF preparatory course via Uni Assist.

If you have any questions about registering for the preparatory course, please contact the DSH Advice Center.

You can find further information on the website of the Language Center.
