Admissions & fees

What it costs

No tuition fees for state-nominated students. External employers who send staff to HöMS programmes pay a flat fee of €3,000 per student for a three-year degree programme (since 2007). There is no semester contribution (Semesterbeitrag) published for standard state-track students.

Admission requirements

HöMS does not offer open admission to the general public or to international applicants. All students must first be appointed as civil-service trainees (Beamtenanwärter) or accepted employees by a Hessian state authority (police or public administration) which then nominates them to the university. There is no independent application process via hochschulstart, uni-assist, or the institution itself. International students wishing to study public administration or policing in Germany should look at conventional public-administration Fachhochschulen with open-admission bachelor's programmes instead.

Application deadlines

There is no open application to the university. Admission to the bachelor programmes requires prior hiring by a Hessian public-sector training authority (Ausbildungsbehörde), which registers successful candidates for study; police applicants go through the selection centre of the Hessian police. Application windows are therefore set by each training authority and vary by authority and intake, so the university publishes no general deadlines.

How international applicants apply

Not applicable - restricted civil-service entry: there is no open application to the university. Admission to the Bachelor programmes requires prior hiring as a trainee (Anwaerter/in) by a Hessian public-sector training authority (police via the Hessian police selection centre, or administration), which then registers the successful candidate for study. International applicants cannot apply directly, so neither uni-assist nor a direct applicant portal exists.

Languages of instruction

German only. All degree programmes are taught exclusively in German.

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