Admissions & fees

What it costs

Hochschule Anhalt is a public university in Sachsen-Anhalt. There are no general tuition fees for bachelor's and consecutive master's programmes regardless of nationality - Sachsen-Anhalt has not introduced non-EU student fees. Students pay a semester contribution (Semesterbeitrag) covering student services and the semester ticket; the exact amount is published per programme page. A supplementary fee of €250 per semester may apply if a student is pursuing a second degree at the same level as one already completed. Some non-consecutive/continuing-education master's programmes may carry their own programme-specific fees.

Admission requirements

International applicants whose qualifications originate outside Germany must apply through uni-assist (my.uni-assist.de) unless they hold a Studienkolleg FSP qualification or ZAB/KMK recognition, in which case they apply directly via the university's SSC portal. Entry qualification is assessed against the anabin database; applicants whose home-country school certificate does not directly qualify for a German bachelor's programme are referred to the university's own Studienkolleg (State Study College). For German-taught programmes: DSH level 2 or TestDaF TDN 4 in all four sub-tests is required. For English-taught programmes: IELTS, TOEFL, TELC, or PTE are accepted (exact band thresholds are stated per programme). Indian applicants: the APS certificate is mandatory for applicants whose prior qualification is from India, and must be submitted as part of the uni-assist application. A completed first year of a recognised Indian bachelor's (from an anabin H+ institution) in the relevant subject may enable direct bachelor's admission; otherwise the Studienkolleg pathway applies. Chinese and Vietnamese applicants are also subject to APS requirements per German consulate rules. Specific application deadlines are published on each programme's own page rather than centrally; applicants should check individual programme pages or contact the International Office.

Application deadlines

Specific deadlines are not published centrally and are listed on each individual programme page. Applicants should check the programme page directly or contact the International Office. As a general guide for German universities of applied sciences: Winter Semester (October start) applications via uni-assist typically close in June-July; Summer Semester (April start) applications typically close in January. Confirm current deadlines on each programme's page or with the university.

How international applicants apply

Full uni-assist application - international applicants (international HZB or international first degree) apply via uni-assist (my.uni-assist.de); uni-assist checks documents and forwards them to Hochschule Anhalt. Exceptions: holders of a Feststellungsprüfung (FSP) from a Studienkolleg or an official ZAB Zeugnisbewertung apply directly via the SSC-Bewerberportal. Programme pages show separate 'International Uni Assist' application windows (e.g. Landwirtschaft B.Sc.: 15 Mar - 15 Aug for WiSe) alongside national SSC windows.

Languages of instruction

The majority of degree programmes are taught in German. Sixteen programmes are available fully in English, concentrated at master's level - including MSc Biomedical Engineering, MEng Electrical and Computer Engineering, MSc Photovoltaics Engineering Science, MSc Sustainable Food Systems Engineering Technology and Business, BA International Business, and MBA International Trade, among others. German-taught programmes require DSH-2 or TestDaF TDN 4 (all four sub-tests). English-taught programmes accept IELTS, TOEFL, TELC, or PTE at levels stated by individual programmes.

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