This master file is an example of a course portfolio, containing 4 undergraduate and 1 postgraduate entry. General Administration Police Service Tax Administration Social Security - Pension Insurance - Undergraduate study Postgraduates can choose Public Administration – Police Management. In each entry, the official parent qualification is retained and pathways or concentrations within the specialisation area are presented, rather than inflated into separate degrees. Where the institution does not award doctorates itself, this record only describes credible cooperative doctoral research routes and indicates that formal admission is the responsibility of a doctoral-awarding partner.
Students are recruited and assigned by the participating authorities or public-service employers and are not admitted through unrestricted enrolment. The exact award of bachelor’s or diploma follows the departmental training and examination rules. Applicants are advised to verify the precise intake, language of instruction, academic eligibility criteria, selection procedure and documentation process on the latest program page before applying. International certificates may require certified translations, proof of equivalency, APS documentation for relevant countries or other language proof. Master’s committees may require module descriptions, credit details, professional experience, a portfolio, a motivation statement or an interview. Admission to a doctoral program is distinct from enrolment in bachelor's and master's programs, and is contingent upon a suitable topic, supervision, funding, and formal acceptance by the awarding university.
Public-service students on placement do not usually pay standard tuition fees, and are entitled to statutory trainee pay or salary. Expenses for materials, travel, accommodation and any other incidentals are subject to employer policies. The stated tuition generally does not include housing, food, health insurance, residence formalities, private travel and optional project expenses. Applicants will be subject to the live fee schedule and signed study contract. Funding may be available as BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium (where available), DAAD or Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, sponsorship by employers, educational funds or paid research and student-assistant positions. Each award is assessed independently of admission.
The career preparation is an example of municipalities in Schleswig-Holstein, state administration, police, tax offices, pension insurance institutions, digital government units and public administration and is not a placement service with guarantee. Students boost employability through alternating authority placements, administrative casework, police exercises, tax calculations, pension counselling, digital-service projects and employer-linked final work. Alumni and professional networks provide mentoring, sector knowledge and contacts, but the responsibility for applications and career decisions is with each student. The institution is especially suitable for applicants who are seeking a paid double track in one of four defined fields of public service in Schleswig-Holstein with direct employer assignment and two specialised campuses, if their previous education, language evidence, study format and financing correspond to the current program conditions.
