Allensbach Hochschule

Bachelor's admission requires a German Abitur, Fachhochschulreife, or equivalent foreign upper-secondary qualification. An alternative pathway is available for applicants with at least two years of vocational training in a relevant field plus three years of professional experience and a passed aptitude examination (Eignungsprüfung). Master's and MBA programmes require a first university degree of at least 6 semesters / 180 ECTS; MBA programmes additionally require at least one year of professional experience (three years for the executive variant). English proficiency at B2 level is required for Master/MBA admission (certificate or short online assessment). Indian, Chinese, and Vietnamese applicants whose prior qualification was obtained in those countries must hold an APS certificate before applying for a German student visa - Allensbach itself does not mention APS on its website, but the requirement is imposed by the German consulate as a visa precondition. Students can start at any time; no fixed application deadlines are stated. International students outside the EU incur a €10/month surcharge for physical study-material shipping; online exam sittings are offered in alternative time slots to accommodate different time zones.

Rolling admissions: because it is a distance-learning institution, enrolment can take place at any time and studies can begin whenever the student chooses; examinations are offered on 12 dates per year.

Direct application - no uni-assist: enrolment is done with the university's own registration form (sent on request by email or downloaded from the Bewerberportal at portal.allensbach-hochschule.de); rolling admissions, no fixed deadlines, no uni-assist or VPD step documented on the official application page.

All Bachelor/Master/MBA programmes run as German-language distance-learning courses; the MBA General Management is additionally offered as an English-language online MBA ('MBA in English Language').
