Hochschule der Deutschen Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung

Admission requires the Hochschulreife or Fachhochschulreife (secondary school leaving qualification) AND an employment or training contract with a statutory accident insurance institution (Berufsgenossenschaft or Unfallkasse). The programmes are not open to general applicants; sponsorship by a DGUV member organisation is a prerequisite. APS certificate (relevant for Indian/Chinese/Vietnamese applicants) and standard international admission pathways do not apply, as this is a closed, employer-sponsored institution. International students are not typically admitted through the standard route.

Intake is always for the winter semester starting 1 October. Self-application is not possible: registration requires an employment contract (Dienstverhaeltnis) with an accident insurance carrier (Unfallversicherungstraeger), who typically initiates the application. The completed admission application (Zulassungsantrag with annexes, digital) must reach the HGU by 15 August of the respective year; admission decisions are usually communicated at enrolment at the start of the semester.

Not applicable - dual study via employer. The Hochschule der Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung (HGU) does not appear on the uni-assist member list, and there is neither a uni-assist procedure nor an open application portal: self-application to the university is impossible by design. Students are seconded as employees of German statutory accident-insurance institutions (DGUV member carriers), whose employment contract (Dienstverhaeltnis) is the precondition for registration; the carrier initiates the process and submits the digital Zulassungsantrag to the HGU (deadline 15 August for the winter semester starting 1 October). Internationals therefore cannot apply through uni-assist or directly - entry runs entirely through employment with a Unfallversicherungstraeger.

All programmes taught in German. No English-medium programmes listed.
