Kirchliche Hochschule Wuppertal (Hochschule für Kirche und Diakonie)

No Numerus Clausus (NC) applies - admission is open to all holders of a German Abitur or recognised equivalent university entrance qualification. Applicants submit an application form with passport photo, copy of qualification certificate, CV, and proof of statutory health insurance. An International Study Program (ISP) run jointly with the United Evangelical Mission (VEM) offers Global South students a one-semester exchange option. APS certificate is not explicitly required by the institution itself, but Indian/Chinese/Vietnamese applicants still need APS for their German student visa. No specific German language level is stated as a precondition for admission; language skills are expected to develop during studies.

No fixed NC-based application deadline published. The institution recommends applying as early as possible. Re-registration deadlines for continuing students are binding each semester. Confirm current deadlines directly with the Studierendensekretariat as the institution is winding down enrolments (last intake: Summer Semester 2026).

Direct application, no uni-assist documented: applications go straight to the Studierendensekretariat (form with photo, copy of the entrance qualification, CV, proof of statutory health insurance); the website names neither uni-assist nor hochschulstart and applies no Numerus Clausus. Church entry context: the Pfarramt track leads to ordination in the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland (EKiR). The university closes on 31 March 2027 - summer semester 2026 was the last teaching semester of the foundational Pfarramt programme ('Das letzte Semester').

German (primary language of instruction). English-language website available. Three classical languages (Hebrew, Greek, Latin) must be acquired during the theology programme and can be studied at the institution.
