The programme is distinctive in its integration of practical business skills with global concerns and cultural awareness, thus equipping students well for their future careers in any modern company or organisation.

- The programme is divided into quarterly alternating theoretical and practical phases. During the theoretical phases, you will be on campus for three months, attending lectures and taking exams.
- Part-time work
- As this is a practice-integrated dual study programme, you will be employed by one of our partner companies ("dual partner") and get a monthly payment of approx. 1,000 to 1,400 EUR.
From your country
General requirements for bachelor's applicants. Rules change — confirm with the university and your local German mission.
🇮🇳 Applying from India
- An APS India certificate is mandatory before your visa appointment — processing takes weeks, so start it the day you decide to apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- IELTS/TOEFL is typically required; some universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter — check the official program page.
🇳🇬 Applying from Nigeria
- Proof of funds is usually a blocked account; open it early — transfers and verification take time.
- WAEC/NECO results are assessed via uni-assist for most universities; a Studienkolleg year may be required for bachelor's entry.
- Visa appointment slots in Lagos and Abuja book out months ahead — book as soon as you have an admission letter.
🇻🇳 Applying from Vietnam
- APS Vietnam certification applies to Vietnamese applicants — schedule the document check before university deadlines.
- Most universities want IELTS 6.0–6.5 for English-taught programs; requirements vary by program.
- Plan finances around the blocked account plus health insurance — both are checked at the visa stage.
🇧🇩 Applying from Bangladesh
- Document verification is strict: keep certificates, transcripts, and bank papers consistent and genuine — discrepancies sink applications.
- The blocked account is the standard proof of funds. You do not need an admission letter to open one, so set it up alongside your applications.
- Apply to several programs in parallel — visa processing in Dhaka can be slow, and an early admission letter buys you time.
Living in Villingen-Schwenningen
Two old towns on the edge of the Black Forest, joined in 1972, with a university campus in each.
Villingen-Schwenningen is really two towns about 8 km apart: Villingen, with its walled medieval centre and Münster, and Schwenningen, a former clockmaking village on the edge of a protected bog where the river Neckar begins.
