Admissions & fees

What it costs

Kolping Hochschule charges tuition fees for its part-time programmes (unlike most public German universities). Three payment models are offered for a full programme: monthly instalments of €330 over 54 months (total ~€17,820), monthly instalments of €410 over 42 months (total ~€17,220), or a one-time prepayment of €16,700. No hidden fees (no registration, examination, or transfer fees). In dual-study arrangements, the employer partner covers fees fully or partially. BAföG is available only for dual-study students; part-time working students are not eligible. No separate non-EU or international student fee tier is disclosed on the official site.

Admission requirements

Applicants must hold an Abitur, Fachabitur, or fachgebundene Hochschulreife, OR a Meisterbrief / advanced vocational qualification, OR at least two years of vocational training plus three years of relevant professional experience. Applicants without a field-related background may gain admission via an aptitude assessment (Eignungsprüfung). Prior university credits and professional qualifications can be recognised to shorten study duration. The university does not publish specific entry requirements or APS/language-test requirements for international applicants on its public pages; prospective international students should contact the study advisory team directly ([email protected]). As a German-taught institution, a high level of German proficiency is an operational prerequisite even if no formal test threshold is publicly stated.

Application deadlines

No specific intake deadlines are published on the official site. The university accepts applications on a rolling basis and states that applicants receive a decision within 72 hours of submitting their online application form.

How international applicants apply

No uni-assist and no published procedure for foreign qualifications. The official admission page lists only German access routes: Abitur / Fachabitur / fachgebundene Hochschulreife, Meisterbrief or comparable Aufstiegsfortbildung, or (career changers) at least 2 years vocational training plus 3 years professional experience with an Eignungsfeststellungspruefung at the Hochschule. Programmes additionally require German B2. uni-assist, VPD and Studienkolleg are not mentioned anywhere on kolping-hochschule.de and the Kolping Stiftungshochschule gGmbH is not a uni-assist member university; applicants holding foreign certificates therefore face an undocumented path and can only clarify individually with the Hochschule ([email protected]).

Languages of instruction

German (all programmes). No English-taught programmes listed on the official site.

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