Postgraduate study includes Applied Artificial Intelligence, Automotive Systems Engineering, Business Analytics, Business Management, Electrical Systems Engineering, Entrepreneurship to Transport and Logistics Management, Tourism Futures Studies, International Marketing and Communication. All courses remain a parent qualification. Specialisations are captured as part of the course entry rather than being incorrectly captured as separate degrees. Campus versions, co-operative formats and related concentrations are lumped under their main degrees whereas stand-alone English-taught qualifications remain separately identifiable.

Admission is to the program level. Applicants with a Bachelor’s degree apply via the HHN portal, and where applicable, via Hochschulstart. Applicants with foreign school credentials apply via the recognition route specified by HHN and Studienkolleg Konstanz. Applicants should check the language of instruction, entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure and document route before submitting their application. 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 require module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience or interviews. Admission to the doctoral program is separate from admission to the bachelor's or master's program and normally requires a feasible research proposal, eligible supervision and formal admission by the responsible faculty.

In general, EU and EEA students do not pay tuition for regular degrees. Under Baden-Württemberg law, non-EU students typically pay €1,500 per semester plus the semester fee, published each semester, which is currently €188 for winter 2026/27; however, legal exemptions and specially priced programs may vary. These institutional fees do not cover the cost of rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs and personal travel. If provided for by the relevant law or program regulation, special tuition may be provided for continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree, or long-term study formats. Funding (e.g. BAföG for eligible students, Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards) is available, but each funding application is evaluated separately from admission.

The university’s subject mix also reflects the career preparation but is not a guarantyd placement scheme. Practical semesters, student projects, theses and graduate recruitment are supported by regional partners from the automotive, engineering, logistics, retail, tourism, health, software, consulting and manufacturing sectors. Students may improve their professional readiness through internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and an externally partnered thesis.
