Berufsakademie Wilhelmshaven

Admission requires: (1) a signed training contract with an accredited practice partner - applications go through practice partners, not directly to the academy; (2) a general or subject-specific university entrance qualification (Hochschulzugangsberechtigung), or completed vocational training as an educator or equivalent under §18 NHG. The 3+3 rule (three-year vocational training plus three years relevant work experience) may also grant access. International applicants should note that all instruction is in German; no international-specific pathway or APS requirement details are published on the official site. Prior coursework from other institutions may be credited via individual case review (Einzelfallprüfung).

There is no central deadline: applicants apply directly to one of the academy's approved practice partners and conclude a training contract before enrolling at the Berufsakademie. All programmes start once per year, in the winter semester.

dual model via partner company - official wording: applications are only possible through the practice partners ('Bewerben koennen Sie sich ueber unsere Praxispartner. Eine Bewerbung direkt ueber die Berufsakademie ist nicht moeglich'). Admission requires a training contract (Ausbildungsvertrag) with an accredited practice company plus a higher education entrance qualification, per Nds.BAkadG; the academy then registers the student nominated by the company. uni-assist is not used or documented anywhere on the official site.
