The Abitur (general higher education entrance qualification) entitles the holder to study in undergraduate degree programmes at universities. It can be acquired at grammar schools, vocational grammar schools, adult education centres and colleges.

The subject-linked higher education entrance qualification is usually acquired at vocational upper secondary schools and entitles the holder to study certain degree programmes that match the subject area stated on the respective certificate.

A certified copy of the higher education entrance qualification is required for matriculation.

For some Bachelor's degree subjects, there are special admission requirements in addition to the general study requirements.

Studying with a first university degree 

The general higher education entrance qualification and thus access to all undergraduate degree programmes is also acquired through (successfully) completed studies at a university of applied sciences, at a university of applied administrative sciences, at a state-recognised university of cooperative education in the tertiary sector, at a dual university or at a university or equivalent institution of higher education.
