You can apply for HFU.Prep via the HFU online application platform.

This is how the application works:

 

  1. Register at: https://mio.hs-furtwangen.de.
  2. You will receive a welcome email with an activation code as confirmation.
  3. Save these documents on your PC (you will need these documents later in the application process):
    1. curriculum vitae (CV)
    2. certificate of university entrance qualification,
    3. if applicable, certificate of recognition from the Center for International Students of the Universities of Applied Sciences in Baden-Württemberg (Studienkolleg Konstanz)
    4. proof of your German language skills as a PDF
  4. Apply to our university. You will be guided through the application process by an assistant.
  5. You can interrupt your application at any time and resume it later, e.g. if you need to research additional information. Your previous details will be retained.
  6. You can only edit the application and the associated information until you finally submit it by clicking on "Submit application". After that, changes can only be made after withdrawing the application and the application will not be processed by the university until it is resubmitted.
  7. You can use the "Print control sheet" function to check and print all the data you have entered.

The following documents are part of your application:

  • Curriculum vitae
  • Short cover letter or letter of motivation (max. 1 - 2 A4 pages, German or English)
  • Proof of German language skills to at least level B1*
  • Proof of university entrance qualification (as a rule, the Studienkolleg Konstanz checks the certificates and issues the necessary certificates with which you can apply to the universities of applied sciences in Baden-Württemberg. You can find more information here: Hochschule Konstanz: Procedure (htwg-konstanz.de)

*We recommend B2 as the entry level for HFU.Prep. If you have a solid B1 level and have ideally already attended at least one B2 course, you can also be accepted into the program without a B2 certificate.

If you need provisional admission (e.g. for a visa application) or have questions about the application process, please email us at  hfu.prep(at)hs-furtwangen.de.

We look forward to hearing from you!

What happens after the application?

After 15 July (for a start in the winter semester) or 15 January (summer semester), you will receive your admission letter from the Student Services Department. With our support, you can then enrol at HFU and start your preparatory semester with the intensive language course.

As long as places are still available, we accept applications for the winter semester up to and including August and for the summer semester up to and including February.
