Application and admission

This page contains automatically translated content.

Important for the application

Your compulsory subject is the core course in education and social sciences. You will also choose two additional electives. You can find the list on the start page of this degree program.

The study of the subjects Protestant Religion and Catholic Religion are mutually exclusive.

If you decide to study sport, music or art as a teaching subject, you must first pass the sport aptitude test or provide proof of artistic aptitude or talent (music/art). The dates of the tests can be found on the homepage of this degree program.

Further subjects
If you would like to study other subjects in addition to these three subjects (two electives and the core course), this is of course possible. However, you will then study these subjects as a separate additional degree program. You mark this additional degree course as a supplement by selecting "Extension examination" as your degree.

What documents do I need?

As part of the online application for this degree program, I need the following documents:

  1. Scan of my university entrance qualificationcertificate (e.g. general higher education entrance qualification (Abitur))
  2. Proof of health insurance ("Insurance confirmation for university")
    Membership certificates are not accepted. Please apply to your statutory health insurance company for a digital insurance certificate ("Meldung 10") for enrollment at the University of Kassel, which the health insurance company will send electronically directly to the University of Kassel. Please inform your health insurance company of the University of Kassel's sender number. This is: H0000479. If you are privately insured, you must contact a statutory health insurance company with your private insurance certificate. The statutory health insurance company will then notify the University of Kassel digitally that you are "not subject to (statutory) health insurance".

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1.General requirement

    • Do I have a university entrance qualification?

    University entrance qualification

    In order to be able to study, you first need a degree certificate that entitles you to study at a university (university entrance qualification): Allgemeine Hochschulreife or a vocational qualification(studying without Abitur).

    You can find a good overview of the various qualifications and their differences on the information page "Admission requirements" of the Hessian Ministry of Science and Art.

    If you have a certificate from a German Studienkolleg outside the University of Kassel (Feststellungsprüfung), this is considered an application with foreign certificates. Therefore, please note the information under "Application with foreign certificates" for your application.
