Requirements for Canadian Students

In most cases, a Canadian High School Diploma is not sufficient for direct entry into Bachelor’s programs in Germany. Typically, applicants are required to complete either a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) or a full year of university study in Canada.

However HFU is the first German university to offer a direct admission pathway based on the HSD. The only additional requirement is a successful result in an aptitude test such as the SAT or ACT.

Procedure for Canadian Students

Our simplified admission pathway for HSD holders is available for selected Bachelor’s programs, specifically our English-taught BA programs in International Business Management and International Engineering.

Interested applicants are invited to contact Daniel Krause directly at [email protected].
