During the last decades, we have witnessed a growing importance of information technology in business and society alongside increasing speeds of innovation cycles. IT has become core for businesses from an operational company-internal and external customer perspective. Today, companies have to rethink their way of doing business. Digital products and services will characterise tomorrow’s world and organisations are digitally transformed across all functional areas.
- How it is organised
- Each module has a duration of 10 days. Preparatory Courses: For applicants who hold an academic degree outside of the required fields but have several years of relevant professional experience, we offer preparatory modules in "Probability and Statistics", and "Programming".
- Support for international students
- Social events during the modules, a final excursion, alumni "Stammtische", and company visits foster the networking and team spirit of the HECTOR School participants.
From your country
General requirements for master'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 Karlsruhe

A planned city built as a fan around a palace, with an Excellence University, the highest courts and a media-art centre.
Karlsruhe has about 309,000 residents and is the third-largest city in Baden-Württemberg. It was drawn on a drawing board in 1715: 32 streets run out from the palace like the ribs of a fan, which is why people call it the Fächerstadt.
