Application

In this case you have to submit your application as an international applicant to the faculty in question and undergo admission procedures. Admission requirements and application documents vary from faculty to faculty. Please contact the faculty of your choice for more information:

German language proficiency / Admission

German is the language of instruction in nearly all lectures/seminars at the University Witten/Herdecke; so international applicants planning a regular degree course at the UWH must provide proof of sufficient proficiency in German upon application. Please find out from the faculty of your choice which certificates will be recognized as such proof.
