Admission is done at the program level. If you are a bachelor’s student you will need either any recognised university entrance qualification or a professional-access route that qualifies you. Master’s applicants require a first degree recognised as equivalent. Prior-credit requirements depend on the selected 60-, 90-, or 120-ECTS route. Normally, a good command of German is required for courses taught in German. Applicants are requested to check the language of the course, entry semester, subject requirements, selection process and document route before submitting. International School or University Qualifications External evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation where applicable or other proof of academic equivalence may be required. Master’s committees may ask for module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience, or interviews. Doctoral entry is different from admission at bachelor’s or master’s level and usually requires a feasible research proposal, eligible supervision and formal acceptance by the responsible faculty.

AKAD publishes program-specific monthly fees and several duration or installment models. Prices vary according to the degree and pace of study and applicants should use the live price calculator and contract.
