      @OJP The International Management Bachelor’s programme at HSBA has a semester fee of 3,990 EUR, which totals 23,940 EUR over the six semesters. But the companies generally pay most or even all of these course fees, at least if the student remains with the company after finishing his/her degree.
      There is no separate mention of a specific accommodation package provided by the university, so you would likely need to arrange housing independently.

      German language proficiency is required for admission, as proof of good grades in German (alongside Mathematics and English) is expected. Specifically, the requirement is an average of 10 points from two certificates at senior level or 9 points in higher-level courses. If these grades are not met, an admission test must be completed. However, the programme itself is taught entirely in English.

      Regarding your question about the application process: since this is a dual study programme combining university study with practical phases in a company, you typically need to secure a training position with a partner company before enrolling at the university. So, applying to the company first is advisable, followed by your university application.
