You are eligible to apply through Rolling admission if

- you have completed or will complete European Baccalaureate, International Baccalaureate, Reifeprüfung or Deutsche Internationale Abitur (DIA)

The evaluation and the admission process is based on the educational documents for your upper secondary degree while university-level documents are not considered in the academic evaluation.
The required grades are as follows on a scale from 0% to 100%:
- Arithmetic grade average: 70%

There are no exact grades, scores, or a percentile to be met with as every application is evaluated individually.
In general, we wish to see good English language skills, and grades above average in mathematics.
When filling in your online application form you must upload the required documents to your application.
If failing to upload the required documents by the time of submitting your application, you will have a strict two-week deadline to supplement your application - the rule also applies to language test results.

About the mathematics curriculum
For us to receive a thorough understanding of your mathematical abilities, you must attach your official upper secondary mathematics curriculum to your application. The document must be an official one, meaning that it has been published by an institution, board or ministry, for example.
A curriculum contains a list of study objectives, courses and course contents; it is a study plan. A curriculum is not equivalent to the transcript of records. Please note that the curriculum must cover the complete duration of the upper secondary studies.
Applicants with a relevant degree on the upper secondary level of education are all able to apply to Bachelor's Programmes in English with a SAT test (Suite of Assesments Test).
When applying with a SAT test, there is no additional requirement for proving your proficiency in English in any other way.
