Access to higher education for international students

Here you can find out how you can apply to study at Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences as an international student. This depends on your goal and your previous educational history. There are three different ways:

  1. You must take the assessment test (Feststellungsprüfung) at a Studienkolleg before you start your degree programme,
  2. You would like to obtain a Bachelor's or Master's degree at the university,
  3. You would like to spend a guest/Erasmus semester with us as an exchange student or study part of your degree programme at Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences.


The three routes require different prerequisites for your application, for example a direct university entrance qualification for studying in Germany. If you are not sure whether you have these, you can check the admissions database of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
