In principle, a foreign diploma that entitles a student to continue his/her studies at a university in his or her own country also makes it possible for him/her to be admitted to the ZHW.

The applicant must submit proof of his/her studies. He/she must also submit proof that he/she has at least one year’s professional experience in the field of his/her chosen study area.

In addition to the application form, the following documents must also be submitted:

– a notarized translation in German (in exceptional cases in English) of his/her most advanced diploma (which entitles him/her to university study), plus transcript.

– certification from his/her employer that he/she has worked at least one year in the field of his/her study area

– copies of recognized diplomas of studies in the German language (intermediate-level examination of the Goethe Institute or equivalent)

– curriculum vitae
