Thank you for your interest in studying at FH Wedel. You may use this form to register for the study programme of your choice. Please note that the registration is not binding and that you will need to complete further steps until you are admitted to FH Wedel.
International applicants without a German higher education entrance qualification will first need to go through Germany’s international student application service uni-assist. There, grades and certifications from your education system will be converted to the German grading scale. We advise that you allow several weeks of time for this process. Furthermore, please note that your application at FH Wedel cannot be considered without the certification from uni-assist.
Following your online registration on this page, you will receive our registration form by e-mail. In order to complete your application with us, you are required to send us a signed copy of that form by post or deliver it at FH Wedel in person. If your application is successful, you will then receive a binding offer of a study contract for your degree programme.
If you have a the Preliminary Verification Documentation (VPD) from uni-assist and your GPA is lower than 3.0, you can apply to FH Wedel.
The study at the FH Wedel is subject to fees. The amount of the fees can be found on the study program pages.
Students who have completed a six-semester Bachelor's program with 180 ECTS credits require an additional semester with 30 ECTS credits and must therefore study one semester longer than the standard period of study. You may have to take this additional semester into account in your cost calculation.
The culture and the educational system in Germany are especially at the beginning of the studies something to get used to. As a student at the FH Wedel you have to act very independently and the demands on you are very high. This affects the speed at which you can manage your studies at the FH Wedel. You should also take this into account in your cost calculation.
The University of Applied Sciences Wedel does not award scholarships. However, you can apply for scholarships at the DAAD or institutions in your home country. Wedel UAS is a fully accredited university and is therefore equivalent to a public university.
If you would like to take out a student loan from a bank, please consider your personal financial risk. The FH Wedel does not take any measures to prevent or promote the taking out of a loan. We recommend that you secure financing for at least five semesters.
