Kühne Logistics University - Wissenschaftliche Hochschule für Logistik und Unternehmensführung

All programmes require a recognised secondary school leaving certificate (for bachelor's) or an accredited bachelor's degree (for master's/MBA) that qualifies for admission to German universities. All instruction is in English; applicants must demonstrate at minimum B2 English proficiency. An interview with the admissions team and faculty is part of the selection process. No specific IELTS or TOEFL score thresholds are published on the official website - applicants are assessed individually. Applicants from India, China, and Vietnam whose prior qualification was obtained in those countries should check APS certificate requirements with the German embassy, as APS is a visa-application requirement for those nationalities regardless of the admitting university's own process. Non-EU applicants are advised to submit their application at least five months before the programme start date to allow for visa processing (up to two months). Some applicants may be required to complete the one-year Business Foundations Program (Studienkolleg) before entering the bachelor's programme, depending on their school-leaving curriculum.

Bachelor (September 1 start, annual): early-bird deadline January 15 (10% tuition discount); recommended deadline for non-EU/international applicants March 31; final deadline for non-EU applicants May 31; European applicants July 15. Master and MBA deadlines are not published as fixed dates on the official site - applicants should contact admissions directly. There is only one annual intake (September/autumn) for the bachelor's programme.

Direct portal, no uni-assist: applications for all degree programmes (BSc, MSc, MBA, PhD) are submitted through KLU's own application portal (apply.klu.org), reviewed on a rolling basis against published deadlines (early-bird mid-January, non-EU final deadline late May, EU mid-July for the September bachelor intake); all instruction is in English. No uni-assist or hochschulstart involvement.

All degree programmes are taught entirely in English. No German-taught degree programmes are offered. Proficiency in English at B2 level is required for the Bachelor programme; master-level requirements are assessed individually. A Business Foundations Program (Studienkolleg) is available that includes optional language modules (German A2 or English C1 tracks).
