The application requirements depend on the level, on which you want to start at TH Lübeck


Application Requirements for Bachelor Programmes[]

Ques­tion

What are the application requirements for Bachelor programmes?

You will need

  • a Secondary School Leaving Certificate (or some kind of alternative, see below), and
  • a German Language Proficiency


Secondary School Leaving Certificate[]

Secondary School leaving Certificate is a prerequisite for admission to an undergraduate course of study at the Technische Hochschule Lübeck. The so called Hochschulzugangsberechtigung – or “university entrance qualification” is only admissible if it is equivalent to the German higher education entrance qualifications (e.&nbsp:g. Allgemeine Hochschulreife (Abitur), Fachhochschulreife). An applicant's eligibility for admission is normally determined on the basis of the secondary school leaving certificate (Maturität, Baccalaureate, high school diploma, etc.). For some countries of origin, you are also required to have passed a university entrance exam and/or provide evidence of any time you have already spent at university.

Ques­tion

Can I study at TH Lübeck if my High School certificate is not recognised in Germany?

If your secondary school certificate is deemed insufficient for study in Germany, you will have to attend a foundation course (“Studienkolleg”) before you are allowed to enrol. We will provide more information on this in this section.


German Language Proficiency[]

Accepted German Language Certificates include:

  • DSH German language examination for university admission, at least overall level 2

  • Telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule Certificate
  • You don’t need to take these tests if you have earned an “Abitur” from a German-language secondary school

LINKplus is a preparatory programme that enables asylum seekers with no formal university entry qualification to get admission into a course of study at the Technical University of Lübeck. This three-semester program issues certificates upon successful completion, which are recognized as TH Lübeck study entry qualification.


Application Requirements for Higher Semester[]

Ques­tion

I began my studies abroad. Is it possible to continue and complete my studies at TH Lübeck?

A university transfer or a change of study program within the Technische Hochschule Lübeck to a higher semester is only possible if you have completed enough creditable work for the new study program. If this is not the case, you would have to apply for the first semester within the regular application period. Therefore, please apply in advance for a placement certificate from the examination board of the responsible department at Technische Hochschule Lübeck. Please contact the responsible department secretariat directly to find out which documents have to be submitted.

Exception[]

If you have previously studied the same course of study at another university of applied sciences, no certificate of placement is required. In this case, you will automatically be placed in the consecutive semester. For applicants who have acquired their university entrance qualification outside of Germany, a direct application is only possible if 90 ECTS at a German university and sufficient German language skills are proven. Otherwise the application must be made via uni-assist.
If a required course examination is ultimately not passed, further study in the same course of study at the same type of university is not possible according to the applicable regulations.
Therefore, if you have definitively failed a course of study at a university, further study at the Technische Hochschule Lübeck in the same course of study is permitted. However, if you have definitively failed a course of study at a university of applied sciences, you cannot continue your studies in the same course of study at the TH Lübeck.
