Applying to Leuphana College
bachelor degree programmes
In order to study at Leuphana College, you will need a valid higher education entrance qualification (abbreviated in German as “HZB”). This is an educational qualification that grants you the right to study. In addition to attaining your general higher education entrance qualification (in German: “Abitur”), a number of other qualifications in Lower Saxony entitle you to take up a course of study.
When applying, a fundamental distinction is made between domestic (German) and foreign higher education entrance qualifications. As to whether you have a German HZB does not depend on your nationality, but solely on the type of qualification you hold. For example, if you completed your “Abitur” at a German school abroad, you are considered to have a German “HZB”.
German higher education entrance qualification
German and international prospective students who hold a German university entrance qualification, including the Abitur from a German school abroad and the German-French Baccalauréat (AbiBac), please follow the information on applying with a German university entrance qualification.
International higher education entrance qualification
For international and German prospective students who have an international higher education entrance qualification, please follow the information on applying with a foreign higher education entrance qualification.
