What to prepare for your application to Sustainable Engineering and Project Management
Please upload your Bachelor’s Degree Certificate
The Bachelor’s degree has to be conferred by an accredited university and has to be (at
least) equivalent to a 180 ECTS German Bachelor’s degree.
You do not have to convert your grades and credit points into the German grade and ECTS
system. The examination board will check whether your degree fulfills the 180 ECTS
requirement.
The university where you completed your previous studies has to be listed as H+ in the
Anabin database set up by the German Ministry of Education:
https://anabin.kmk.org/anabin.html. In case your university is not listed there, it is your own
4
responsibility to provide the evidence of accreditation of your university/study program. The
Examination Board will review the documentation provided.
In case you have completed other study programs (Bachelor level or higher) in addition to
the mentioned studies, please also upload the respective documents (degree certificate and
transcript of records, see below).
Provisional degree certificates can only be accepted in individual cases. They have to
confirm clearly that the study program has been completed successfully.
Without any form of proof that your previous degree has been successfully completed, you
cannot be admitted to the Graduate School Master’s programs.
APS certificate (only for applicants from India, Vietnam and China).
This is a requirement for applicants from India since October 1st, 2022.
Acceptance letters cannot be issued without this document.
For further information regarding this, please go through the following website:
Transcript of Records
Please upload an official marksheet/Transcript of Records/list of modules and grades for
all study programs you completed with a degree certificate (in addition to the degree
certificate uploaded in the section above).
The document has to be issued by your university (or a responsible affiliated
college/institution)“ and has to contain the list of all your modules and grades in all
semesters/study years.
The document will be rejected if pages/semesters are missing.
Certificate of work experience
Please upload proof of at least one year of work experience after completion of your
Bachelor’s degree.
The work experience must be from a fulltime position. One year part time job (20 hours)
is not accepted.
If you only have acquired the required minimum of work experience, make sure the
documents submitted under “Degree certificate” and “Transcript of Records” contain the
exact end date of your studies. This date will be needed to check whether you fulfill the one
year requirement.
Usually, applicants can prove their work experience by submitting one document (“service
certificate”, “Arbeitszeugnis”). The document has to contain at least the following
information: Date of joining, date of leaving (if applicable), date of issue, position in the
company, weekly hours/full-time job. If this information is not included in one document,
you can upload several documents.
Your work experience can only be proven through documents confirming that you worked
for the company. A work contract or offer letter does not show that you really worked for the
5
company. Therefore, work contracts and offer letters are not sufficient as proof of work
experience. In individual cases, they can however be uploaded to add information missing in
the service certificate (or similar).
We also accept payslips, which includes the period of employment (date of joining/current
date). Of course, you can black your earnings.
Internships can be considered in individual cases, but only in combination with other
relevant work experience.
For “Software Engineering for Industrial Applications” the work experience as freelancer
is not accepted.
Certificate of English language
Please upload a proof of your English language proficiency.
Medium of instruction certificate is not accepted for admission.
You must prove your English language proficiency by uploading an official test score
document. The minimum scores accepted are 90 (TOEFL iBT) or 6.5 (IELTS academic).
Please do not submit test score documents with a lower score as they cannot be considered
and can even be reason for rejection.
In individual cases, other English test score documents (minimum level B2) can be accepted.
This is decided by the Examination Board after reviewing the entire application.
Language certificates should not be older than 2 years (dating back from your intended study
begin at Hof University, i.e. March 15 or October 1).
Certificate of German language
For “Operational Excellence”, “General Management” and “Digitalization and Innovation”
you need to prove German language skills with a minimum level A1 according to the CEFR
(Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) at the moment of your
application. This requirement cannot be waived.
o Hof University accepts official test score documents (e.g. Goethe, telc, ÖSD).
o In individual cases, other certificates can be accepted if they contain at least the
following information: name and address of issuing institution, responsible
persons/teachers, level according to the CEFR, content and grade of the exam. The
admission committee will decide if the certificates fulfill the quality standards and
criteria for admission.
o Attendance certificates are not sufficient as proof of basic German language skills.
o Language certificates should not be older than 2 years (dating back from your
intended study begin at Hof University, i.e. March 15 or October 1).
o For language certificates proving a level higher than A1, the same rules apply as for
German A1.
Only for “Software Engineering for Industrial Applications”, the German language
certificate is not mandatory at the moment of the application. Basic German language skills
can be acquired during the first academic year at Hof University. However, if you already have
6
German language skills, please upload your certificates in order to be given the right German
language level during your studies.
Please upload all German test score documents and course attendance certificates you
have, in order to get the right German course during your first semester at Hof University.
Exceptional regulation in case of missing German certificate:
If you are not able to prove your German language skills (minimum level A1) by an official
certificate, please upload whichever documents you have in hand that can prove your
German language skills, together with a short explanation of your current problems. The
examination board will then review your application. If you do not upload any document in
the “German language” section in the upload area until the end of the application period,
your application will be rejected.
In individual cases, if the submitted German language documents do not fulfill the
requirements, the examination board can decide to offer a German language aptitude test
to evaluate your current German language skills.
If this applies to you, you will be contacted by email with further information. This German
language aptitude test would then replace the requested proof of German language skills.
Please note, the decision about offering a German language aptitude test is made by the
examination board only in individual cases and only if all other requirements are fulfilled.
There is no guarantee for this offer.
