Admissions are processed at the program level. The applicants use the KH Freiburg portal in the program-specific windows. The health and employment-integrated paths require proof of professional qualifications . The art-therapy and participant-financed master’s programs have their own selection and fee regulations. Applicants must verify the teaching language, entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure and document route before applying. 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. Admission to doctoral studies is separate from admission to bachelor or master studies and generally requires a viable research proposal, appropriate supervision and formal approval by the responsible faculty.
The institutional study contribution for regular students is € 280 per semester plus the current administrative and student-services amounts. Tuition for participant-funded master’s programs is published by the programs and the total is set by the applicable schedule and enrolment notice. These institutional fees do not cover rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs or personal travel. Special tuition may be applied in the case of continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree or long-term study formats, if provided for by the relevant law or program regulation. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards, but each funding application is assessed independently from admission.
Career preparation reflects the subject mix of the university, but it is not a guarantyd placement scheme. Professional learning takes place in hospitals, care organisations, welfare providers, schools, disability services, childcare centers, diocesan agencies, counselling practices, cultural-health programs and public bodies. Professional readiness is enhanced through internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and an externally partnered thesis.
