Admissions & fees

What it costs

FHD is a private university and charges programme-specific tuition fees - it is NOT tuition-free. Fees vary by programme and study format (full-time vs. part-time/berufsbegleitend). Exact fee amounts are provided in each programme's information brochure rather than published centrally on the website. Early-payment and lump-sum discounts are available (3-5%). An early-bird discount of €400 on the immatriculation fee is offered. No separate non-EU surcharge structure was found; all students are subject to the same private tuition model. Prospective students should request programme-specific fee details from [email protected].

Admission requirements

FHD admits students without a numerus clausus (NC-free). Entry routes include standard Abitur/Fachhochschulreife, as well as a 'Studium ohne Abitur' pathway for applicants with relevant vocational qualifications or professional experience. International applicants must hold a recognised school-leaving certificate or bachelor's degree equivalent. German language proficiency is required (specific level - B2 or C1 - should be confirmed per programme on the official site or with the admissions office). Indian, Chinese, and Vietnamese applicants who require an APS certificate for German university applications should verify APS requirements for private universities directly with the APS office, as the APS requirement generally applies to public universities; FHD's own admissions process should be confirmed directly. No specific international admissions requirements page is published on the official website; applicants are directed to contact the institution directly.

Application deadlines

Rolling admissions (apply anytime); official guideline deadlines: summer semester 31 March, winter semester 30 September. Early-bird discount EUR 400 on the enrolment fee for early application. International degree-seeking applicants (start winter semester): application deadline 31 July.

How international applicants apply

Not used. Direct application: non-binding online application form on the FHD website (fallback e-mail to [email protected]) with ID document, CV and HZB certificates uploaded; rolling admissions with guideline deadlines 31 March (summer semester) and 30 September (winter semester); possibly a Hochschulzugangs- or Eignungsfeststellungsprüfung, then a signed study contract. International degree-seekers are supported by the International Office ([email protected]). Not on uni-assist's official member list; no VPD documented.

Languages of instruction

German (primary language of instruction for all programmes). No English-taught degree programmes listed on the official site.

Entry requirements, intake dates and language levels differ for every degree.
