Psychology, Bachelor of Science

Admission requirements

The Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM) is a state-recognized, private university of applied sciences. Students must therefore meet at least the same formal admission requirements as would be required for admission to a comparable course at a public university.

The formal requirement for admission to the B.Sc. Psychology bachelor's program at the FHM is the general qualification for university entrance. In addition, English language skills at level B2/C1 must be demonstrated on the certificate. Alternatively, a TOEFL test with at least 72 (up to 120 points) or a Cambridge Certificate with B2, C1 or C2 can be submitted as proof. You also have the opportunity to take an English language test at the FHM in advance to prove your English skills.
