2. Admission

The following section contains information on admission requirements and restrictions. If you have further questions, please
contact the Service Center Student Affairs (see above).

2.1. Requirements

2.1.1. School Education

The admission requirement for studying at Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences is the completion of a general /
specialized Higher Education Entrance Qualification (HEEQ) or a technical HEEQ. You can check out for yourself whether you
are eligible to study in Bavaria. Your HEEQ certificate shall therefore clearly refer to this as follows:

„Mr. / Mrs. …….. has passed the final high school examination / final examination for technical colleges etc. and
has therefore qualified to study at any university / university of applied sciences in Germany / Bavaria.”

Some school qualifications completed with a technical HEEQ in other German Federal States may not be automatically
recognized for a study in Bavaria. Unless it appears directly from your entrance qualification certificate that you are eligible to
study in Germany / Bavaria, please contact the

Zeugnisanerkennungsstelle für den Freistaat Bayern

(Certificate Recognition Office for Bavaria)
Postal Address: PO Box 40 20 40, 80720 Munich
Visitor’s Address: Pündterplatz 5, 80803 Munich
Phone: +49 89 383849 – 0
http://www.km.bayern.de/schueler/abschluesse/zeugnisanerkennung.html

You can get there detailed information about the recognition of your entrance qualification certificate in Bavaria or you will be
notified if you have to fulfill additional requirements for being admitted to study. If your certificate is recognized as equivalent to
the German HEEQ, the Zeugnisanerkennungsstelle für den Freistaat Bayern (Certificate Recognition Office for Bavaria) will
send you an official letter about the settled grade point average. You will need to submit an officially certified copy of this
official letter together with your school-leaving certificate (diploma) to Ingolstadt University.

For the admission of qualified professionals, please see www.haw-ingolstadt.de  Study Offer  Admission  Admission of
masters and qualified professionals.

2.1.2. Vocational training (pre-study internship)

Applicants who did not complete a specialized vocational training (e.g. high-school graduates) or changed their qualification
profile after completing a technical college and / or a vocational school will have to prove before the beginning of studies that
they have completed a specialized vocational training or a practical training of at least six weeks (= pre-study internship) in

compliance with the degree program they have chosen unless stipulated otherwise by the respective program and
examination regulations or other statutes of Ingolstadt University. The pre-study internship shall be preferably attended without

company about a dual qualification.

procedure may differ depending on whether you are still in your home country or already in Germany. For precise information

about admission under Application.

2.4. Admission to advanced semesters

The admission to an advanced semester is basically possible. However there are admission restrictions for advanced
semesters as well.

For further information, please read the leaflet “Information for admission to an advanced semester” under www.haw-
ingolstadt.de  Application and the “Admission regulations of Ingolstadt University for winter semester 2013/2014 and
summer semester 2014” under www.haw-ingolstadt.de  Study Offer  University Statutes. The examination committees
decide on the distribution of places for a certain semester. Therefore Ingolstadt University cannot provide any binding
information on this process.

2.5. Medical, accident, liability insurance, pension insurance

Beginning with May 2013 / mid-November 2013 you can find all information on insurance and medical insurance for students
in the leaflets “Information on registration” and “Information on admission”. The leaflets are available at www.haw-ingolstadt.de
 Study  Study Offer  Application.

Enrolled applicants are becoming students of Ingolstadt University. After submission of the documentation required in the
letter of admission (e.g. completion of pre-study internship, medical insurance) students will receive their student card. For
more information, please see www.haw-ingolstadt.de Application “Information on registration“.

4. Credit weighting
According to art. 61 par. 3 lines 1, 2 no. 4 of the Bavarian Higher Education Act in conjunction with § 17 of General
Examination Regulations for Universities of Applied Sciences and with § 9 of General Examination Regulations of Ingolstadt
University, study periods and examination credits will be weighted during the transition from another university or another
course of study and recognized to the extent that they correspond to the requirements of Ingolstadt University. They will be
recognized when the period of study and the previous academic achievements concerning curriculum, course description and
exigencies basically correspond to those of Ingolstadt University. The recognition of previous academic achievements from
another university will be made ex officio and in the scope of the higher education framework law. University applicants /
students must submit the required documentation for recognition. If students have no previous examination achievements,
they will have to submit a confirmation of the previous university in this respect. The examination committee of the respective
program will usually decide during the application procedure and/or after enrolment whether and to what extent the recognition
may be achieved. Therefore, Ingolstadt University cannot provide any binding information on the recognition of academic
achievements.

5. Practical semesters and / or basic internship / pre-study internship

Students can apply for the recognition of vocational trainings or practical professional experience of at least 12 months as
equivalent to the basic internship / pre-study internship, but not to the practical semester. Only in exceptional and well
motivated cases it is possible to recognize another practical professional activity having the same objectives and study
contents of the practical semester as fully or totally equivalent to the practical semester of study. You will have to submit the
application for recognition (a separate application form of Ingolstadt University) within 2 months after your registration at
Ingolstadt University. For more information about contents, locations and period of internship please see “Pre-study internship
– Information for applicants” under www.haw-ingolstadt.de  Study  Study Offer  Application.
