Admissions & fees

What it costs

No tuition fees. Students receive a monthly civil-service salary of approximately €1,640 net under the Bundesbesoldungsgesetz. Students who have completed a prior vocational qualification (special apprenticeship) receive approximately €2,230 net per month. On-campus accommodation is available for €200-€300 per month (all bills included).

Admission requirements

The programme is a civil-service dual study track and admission is highly restrictive. Applicants must hold a German Abitur or equivalent higher education entrance qualification. German nationality is required under the Federal Civil Servants Act (Beamtenrecht), as students are enrolled as civil servants on probation. Admission involves an aptitude test and selection process run by the Deutsche Bundesbank directly - applications are submitted to the Bundesbank, not the university. The programme is not open to general international applicants; secondees from European System of Central Banks (ESCB) member institutions may participate under separate arrangements. APS certificates (for Indian, Chinese, or Vietnamese applicants) are not relevant here given the German nationality requirement.

Application deadlines

Applications are accepted for two annual intakes: 1 April and 1 October. Application deadlines and the selection process are managed by the Deutsche Bundesbank's HR function; contact the Bundesbank regional offices or careers portal (bundesbank.de/karriere) for current deadlines.

How international applicants apply

Not applicable - restricted civil-service recruitment by the employer. The Hochschule der Deutschen Bundesbank does not appear on the uni-assist member list and offers no university application route of any kind: admission to the three-year dual bachelor programme in Hachenburg runs exclusively through the Deutsche Bundesbank's (or BaFin's) own recruitment procedure, which combines an employment/appointment relationship as civil servant (Beamtenverhaeltnis) with the study place. International applicants cannot apply directly to the university and there is no uni-assist VPD or processing step; entry is governed by Bundesbank/BaFin hiring requirements, not by university admissions.

Languages of instruction

Primarily German; approximately 20% of lectures are conducted in English.

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