Subject-specific higher education entrance qualification
The subject- related higher education entrance qualification is a higher educational qualification with the entitlement to study certain subjects and subjects at universities and all subjects at universities of applied sciences . This school leaving certificate is the Abitur without lessons / school examination in a second foreign language, which is essential for some subjects, such as Latin for medicine or law.
Acquisition
In the school system of the Federal Republic of Germany, a “certificate of subject-related higher education entrance qualification” can be issued with an upper secondary school qualification. It entitles you to study those courses of study that are listed in this certificate. A second foreign language is not necessary; however, there are certain other requirements.
With a final examination in a second foreign language, the subject can be converted into a general higher education entrance qualification ( Abitur ).
The subject-related higher education entrance qualification can also be acquired at these educational institutions:
- a (vocational) high school ,
- a specialist academy ,
- at some vocational schools ,
- at vocational colleges ,
- at preparatory colleges ,
- at vocational high schools / technical high schools as well
- after completing the 13th grade of a technical college (only in some federal states);
also on one:
- Comprehensive university for students with a certificate of advanced technical college entrance qualification after successfully completing certain bridging courses or academic achievements between 60 and 90 credit points in a bachelor's degree (state-specific recognition).
- University of Applied Sciences after the intermediate diploma (in some federal German states);
or by:
- a gifted test
- the recognition of a foreign school leaving certificate by the competent authority (e.g. in North Rhine-Westphalia by the Düsseldorf district government ).
In some federal states, general or subject-related university admission to bachelor's degree programs is also open to particularly qualified and suitable professionals who do not have a general or subject-related university entrance qualification. The minimum requirements for this are a master craftsman's examination , an equivalent professional training examination or a certificate from a higher technical school or college.
