For admission to study at a university, the university entrance qualification in the form of e.g. Abitur or technical college entrance qualification is usually a basic requirement. In order to enable access to those who are employed without a university entrance qualification, the Ministry of Science, Research and Art (MWK) has issued the Ordinance on Access for Professionally Qualified Students (BerufsHZVO). This means that people who meet the requirements listed under "Requirements and Admission" can submit an application to the university to determine the technical correspondence between their professional training and further education and the chosen course of study.
