Berufsakademie Rhein-Main Rödermark

All applicants must hold a university entrance qualification (Abitur, Fachabitur, or equivalent). Foreign qualifications must be equivalent to a German Hochschulzugangsberechtigung; applicants are advised to verify recognition via anabin.kmk.org before applying. International applicants must submit official certified translations of all certificates. German language proficiency is mandatory: accepted certificates are DSH, TestDaF (minimum TDN 4 in all sections), GDS, KDS, ZOP, or Deutsches Sprachdiplom Level 2. The ZMP certificate is not accepted. Uniquely for a Berufsakademie, admission also requires an applicant to secure a 'study and practical training contract' with one of the academy's partner companies before enrolment can be confirmed. APS certificate (Akademische Prüfstelle) is not mentioned in the institution's own materials; Indian, Chinese, and Vietnamese applicants should confirm the requirement directly with the academy and the relevant German embassy.

The academy offers a Winter Semester intake (October start). Available places for Winter Semester 2026 and 2027 are listed on the website, indicating rolling or early-application admissions. No fixed application deadline dates are published; applicants should contact the academy directly.

Dual model via employer - no uni-assist, VPD or hochschulstart. Admission requires a signed study/trainee contract (Anstellungsvertrag) with one of the BA's partner companies (or a company proposed by the applicant); candidates apply directly to partner companies, via the BA Studienplatz portal (www.ba-rm.de), or at BA recruiting events. Partner companies typically pay tuition and a monthly salary during theory phases. Four dual bachelor programmes (Applied Computer Science, Business Information Systems, Business Administration and International Management, Industrial Engineering - Digital Management and Engineering) are taught in German over three years alternating 2-3 month theory/practice blocks.

German is the primary language of instruction. Admission requires proof of German proficiency (DSH, TestDaF TDN 4, GDS, KDS, ZOP, or Deutsches Sprachdiplom Level 2). One programme - Business Administration and International Management - has a strong international orientation.
