Application
Show us your potential! Besides your school grades, we place strong emphasis on your personality, skills and interests. We are looking forward to learn about internships, stays abroad, your school and possibly vocational background, and extracurricular activities.
Whether you already know that you need to do a one-year preparatory program or you are yet unsure if your school degree qualifies for a Bachelor's program: Just hand in your application to your desired Bachelor's program and include all the required documents. We will assess your application, review all documents, and get back to you with the result: either entering directly a Bachelor's program (3 years) or kicking it off with the International Foundation Year (Studienkolleg) followed by your Bachelor studies (1 + 3 years).
A complete application contains the following documents:
- Online Application for Admission
- An official certified copy of your school leaving certificate containing a transcript of grades. Please hand in an official certified copy of your school certificate. All documents have to be presented with a German or English notarized translation and need to be officially certified.
- Letter of motivation: The letter of motivation offers you the opportunity to explain why you have decided to apply for the program at our university. You can share with us what you envision to learn, but also what you plan to contribute to your studies at Karlshochschule and what your goals are after graduation. The letter of motivation should be typed and be one page in length.
- Curriculum vitae (résumé) in tabular form: Your curriculum vitae (résumé) should give you a brief overview of your life to date.
- Copy of passport
- Additional certificates (e.g. internship, extra-curricular activities): Certificates documenting vocational training, internships, international experience, extra-curricular commitment at school or charitable/non-profit association support a successful application.
- If applicable, an APS certificate (for applicants from China, Vietnam and Mongolia only).
Please hand in your application documents by July 15 for non-EU applicants (possibly later, depending on the visa process of your home country) and September 15 for EU applicants.
