How to apply for a HdWM study programme

We want to get to know you! Together with you, we want to find out whether the study programme you have chosen is right for you. You as a person — with your abilities, your interests and your motivation — are what matters most to us. That is why there is no NC (numerus clausus) at HdWM, as we don’t believe that grades alone define students.

Step by step

How does the application process at HdWM work?

  1. Study Advisory Office

    Have a look at our bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes. Our study advisors are happy to support you in finding the right programme for you. If you don’t reside in Germany, they can schedule a video call with you, to make sure you have all the information you need.

  2. Application

    Once you have found the right programme for you, log in to our online application portal and you will be guided through the steps. If you are missing any documents, no problem. You can save the current status of your application at any time and return to it at a later date. Please note that once you have submitted your application, you will not be able to make any changes. From then on, please contact us by e-mail. We look forward to receiving your application.

    Apply by e-mail

    Alternatively, you can send us your application by e-mail to: application@hdwm.org

    • CV
    • School leaving certificate
    • Copy of your ID-card
    • Certificate about language proficiency

    (For non-native speakers of English/German. English track programmes: upper B2, German track programmes: C1. All common language tests/statements of schools and universities about language proficiency can be accepted)

    • Letters of recommendation of former employees or other certificates (if applicable)
    • For an application to a master’s programme, please also enclose a certificate of a first qualifying higher-education degree including a transcript of records.

    Scans are fine for the application process. But please be informed that we need a notarised hardcopy of all certificates until the enrolment.

  3. Checking your entrance requirements

    After we received your application documents, the admissions office checks whether you meet all formal entrance requirements. Please allow at least two weeks for this process if you are applying from a non-EU country. If you meet all requirements we will get in touch with you regarding further steps and we will send you your study contract.

  4. Study Contract

    You meet all entrance requirements and have sent us all essential documents. The admissions office will then get in touch with you and send you a contract. Please return it to us signed within 14 days, and we will proceed with your admission.

  5. Enrolment

    The enrolment is the last step before starting your studies at HdWM. The colleagues from the study office will get in touch with you to inform you about the procedure.

  6. Beginning of studies & preparatory courses

    To help you get off to a good start at HdWM on April 1st (summer semester) or October 1st (winter semester), we offer preparatory courses in advance, for example maths courses. In addition, one day before each semester start we hold a Welcome Day, where we introduce all new students to our university and the contact persons relevant to you, so that you can find your way around your new studies as quickly as possible.
