Admission control at program level. Applicants use the PH Weingarten portal and exact degree notice for qualifications, German or English evidence, subject aptitude, professional preparation, prior credits, and international credential review. Applicants should verify the language of instruction, the entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure 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 require module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience or interviews. Entry to a doctorate is independent of the admission process for bachelor or masters degrees and, normally, requires a viable research proposal, eligible supervision and formal acceptance by the relevant faculty. Most EU and EEA students do not pay general tuition. Students from outside the EU normally pay €1,500 per semester under Baden-Württemberg law, plus the €211 semester contribution for 2026. The contribution from the partner institution can be used for joint programs. These institutional charges do not include 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 career preparation is reflective of the subject mix of the university and is not a guarantyd placement scheme. Practical study is supported by schools, early-childhood centers, clinics, speech-therapy practices, media organisations, environmental programs, social services and education authorities. Internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and an externally partnered thesis can help students improve their professional readiness.
