NBS Northern Business School - University of Applied Sciences

International applicants must hold a school-leaving certificate equivalent to the German Abitur or Fachhochschulreife; documents not in German must be accompanied by a certified German translation. German language proficiency at B2 (CEFR) is required for non-German-speaking international applicants. All programmes are admission-restriction-free (kein N.C.) with no entrance examination. Indian, Chinese, and Vietnamese applicants who completed prior schooling in their home country should verify APS certificate requirements with the international office before applying, as NBS's own pages do not address this explicitly. Vocational qualification holders and applicants without a traditional Abitur may also be admitted via recognised professional pathways or an entrance examination.

Winter semester (start ~September 15): application deadline August 1. Summer semester (start ~March 15): application deadline February 1. The institution states late enrolment is often possible beyond these dates.

Not used / direct rolling registration: study places are secured via NBS's own Online-Anmeldung with rolling admissions up to semester start (15 March summer / 15 September winter semester). Holders of foreign entrance qualifications must show equivalence to German Abitur or Fachhochschulreife, supply certified translations, and prove German B2 - all handled directly by the university. No uni-assist or VPD process is mentioned on the admission pages.

German (primary language of instruction for most programmes); English available for selected courses and the MBA programme.
