Application Documents
In German: Hochschulzugangsberechtigung (HZB). This proves that you have reached a sufficient level of schooling to attend a higher education institution in Germany. If you did not earn your HZB in Germany, then you must apply through uni-assist so that the equivalency of your international HZB can be established. Uni-assist establishes equivalency based on official guidelines from the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (Kultusministerkonferenz), the German Rectors Conference (Hochschulrectorenkonferenz), and the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen).
All students at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences must complete an eight-week internship before the end of the third semester. It is often easier for international applicants – particularly those who speak little to no German – to complete this mandatory requirement in their home country before applying. For more details and additional requirements, please see the examination regulations of your desired study program.
Once you have completed this requirement, you can request an official recognition form from your faculty. Important: If your internship is not recognized by the end of the third semester, you will automatically be deregistered as a student.
Testimonials
What did you enjoy most about your bachelor’s program?
"I enjoyed crop physiology and nutrition, international markets, trade and agriculture policy, traceability of agriculture products, and my internship abroad a lot. Those courses (and our professors) helped me understand how agriculture plays an important role in monitoring nature, adding value to human nutrition and the global market, and maintaining the economic resilience and social harmony of a community."
