Application and admission

The content on this page was translated automatically.

Important for the application

Your required subject is the education and social sciences core curriculum. In addition, you will choose two other electives. You can find the list on the home page of this degree program.

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

If you choose physical education, music, or art as a subject, you must first pass the physical education aptitude test or demonstrate artistic aptitude or talent (music/art). You will find the dates of the tests linked on the home page of this 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 if they were a separate additional degree program. You mark this additional course of study as a supplement by selecting "Extension Examination" as the 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 certificate of higher education entrance qualification (e.g. Allgemeine Hochschulreife (Abitur))
  2. Proof of health insurance ("Versi­che­rungs­be­stä­ti­gung für Hoch­schule")
    Membership certificates are not accepted. Please apply for a digital insurance certificate ("Meldung 10") from your statutory health insurance company for enrollment at the University of Kassel, which the health insurance company will transmit electronically directly to the University of Kassel. For this purpose, please inform your health insurance companyof the dispatch number of the University of Kassel . 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 digitally notify the University of Kassel that you are "not subject to (statutory) health insurance".
