|---|---|---|
| English | 4 units | English IV or Honors or AP English, each with a minimum grade of “C” |
| 2nd Language | 2 units | |
| Social Studies | 3 units | |
| Mathematics | 2 or 3 units | Algebra II or Trigonometry (11th grade) and Precalculus (12th grade), each with a minimum grade of “C” |
| Science | 2 or 3 units | Minimum grade “C” in each of Biology, Chemistry, or Physics |
| Mathematics & Science | 5 units total | |
| Electives | 2 units |
If the student only completed grades 10–12 at high school, then only 3 units of English are required.
Please note: Starting from the Winter Term 2019/2020, German universities will no longer accept the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) in addition to the High School Diploma for direct admission.
Students will have to complete a Studienkolleg by passing the Feststellungsprüfung after 1 year. Before attending the Studienkolleg, students will have to prove they have completed 1 academic year at a University, corresponding to their planned main study course at a German University.
Students will only be able to access German Universities directly if they can prove that they have completed 2 academic years for the previous discipline and neighboring subjects at a University, corresponding to their planned main study course at a German University.
Students that have done GCE AS & A Levels are eligible for direct admission if they meet the following requirements:
A total of four subjects are required, which must be independent of one other and have general education, non-vocational content.
At least three A-Levels and one AS Level of which must be a language exam (literature is NOT accepted) and an exam in mathematics or natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology).
First and foremost, the student should have acquired full-time education in 12 consecutive school years. Additionally, to obtain direct admission is the following is required:
1) Six examination subjects, of which three must be at “Higher Level” (HL) and the rest in “Standard Level” (SL), that are independent of one another, are required and must include the following subjects:
2) Among the three Higher Level subjects must be either Mathematics or a natural science subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology).
3) All subjects must be done in two consecutive years in the IB Diploma Programme.
4) The sixth required subjects must have a minimum IB-Grade “4”. If only one subject has an IB-Grade “3”, it can be compensated by another subject of the same level of proficiency with a minimum IB-Grade “5” with at least a total of 24 points.
If the student does not fulfil the requirements above, the student can still enroll at the university after joining the Studienkolleg and completing the “Feststellungsprüfung” (FSP) for the corresponding field of study.
