Application
Application - Stress less and easy
Ready to start your dream degree course? Then let's get started! Here are the admission-free degree courses in mechanical engineering and plastics technology. That sounds really cool, doesn't it? And the best thing is: a simple application for admission is all it takes and you're in! Okay, you still need an internship for the Bachelor's degree course. But hey, that's not a problem, is it? Ideally, of course, you'll have it in your pocket before you start your studies, but you can still do it later. So no stress!
What do you need for the application? A university entrance qualification (Abitur certificate, technical secondary school certificate or a similar qualification), a CV in tabular form, proof of health insurance and payment of the semester fee. Easy, right?
And if you have already completed vocational training, simply enclose the relevant documents. And if you didn't start studying straight after leaving school, simply list all the stages of your life on your CV - without any gaps. And if you have already studied, we need a current certificate of study or a certificate of exmatriculation so that we can assign you to the correct subject and university semester. Not complicated, is it?
If you have a foreign university entrance qualification, simply apply via uni-assist, then we can check your eligibility to study in Germany and at h_da. But don't worry - our student advisory service is there to help and advise you in all cases.
