Admission Requirements

With your B.A. in Real Estate Management, you work for example in property management, real estate sales or managing real estate funds.

In order to begin a university degree programme at Hochschule Fresenius, applicants must provide proof of the qualification required for study (university entrance qualification). This is demonstrated by:

• general higher education entrance qualification (Abitur), which entitles you to study at all universities and in all federal states,
• or the subject-specific higher education entrance qualification, which entitles you to study in the corresponding subject area and in the federal states listed in the certificate,
• or the advanced technical college entrance qualification, which entitles you to study at a university of applied sciences or in a tiered degree programme at a university in the federal states indicated in the certificate.

Alternatively, you can also be admitted without Abitur or advanced technical college entrance qualification. The following is required to study without Abitur:

• You have passed a master craftsman’s examination.
• Or you have a qualification according to the ordinance on access for professionally qualified persons to universities in the state of Hesse, i.e. either a qualification from professional advanced training of at least 400 hours, completion of a technical school or a vocational or administrative academy, or a passed final examination in a state-recognised training occupation with subsequent at least three years of professional experience and passing a separate university entrance examination.
• For foreign qualifications, equivalence must be proven for admission.
