Bachelor's Degree

In order to study a Bachelor's degree program at TU Dortmund University, a Higher Education Entrance Qualification (Hochschulzugangsberechtigung - HZB) must be proven.

A HZB can either

  • be the highest school-leaving qualification or
  • the highest school-leaving certificate together with proof of a university entrance examination, periods of study or a degree from the respective home country.

Depending on the educational qualifications, all courses of study (general HZB) or only certain courses of study (subject-specific HZB) can be studied. It is also possible that a preparatory course must be completed before starting a degree course.

Master's Degree

In order to study a Master's degree program at TU Dortmund University, a Master's Entrance Qualification (Masterzugangsberechtigung - MZB) must be proven. Essentially, this is proof that a person has the necessary academic qualifications to enter a Master's degree program. These requirements are usually fulfilled by the completion of a Bachelor's degree or an equivalent first university degree.

As a rule, the degree must be in a specific subject area in order to gain access to a specific Master's degree course.  Further information can be found in the FAQ.
