Absolutely. All vocational diploma tracks are accepted. In accordance with Section 11 of the Berlin Higher Education Act, you can also study with us based on your professional qualifications. For this, you need to have completed at least two years of relevant vocational training. In other words, if your trained profession is related to your intended degree program, we can grant you a subject-specific university entrance qualification.

You should have a genuine interest in the subject area of your chosen program. We’ll teach you everything else you need to know.

Close interaction is at the core of our teaching approach. We offer small seminar groups (classes), ensuring individual support and direct contact with lecturers. We teach one module per day, allowing you to dive deep into the subject, fully understand theoretical concepts, and stay in your creative flow during practical work.
