International applicants should apply through the university and check the official website for entry requirements, document lists, and deadlines. The degree level offered is Diploma, so the applicant should confirm how that qualification is recognised for their own study plans and whether any additional country-specific documents are needed.
The university does not publish a fee range for international students; confirm the current tuition with its admissions office. Living costs in Germany will still depend on city, housing, and everyday spending, so plan for those separately.
The language of instruction is not published, so confirm it before applying. Also check whether your previous qualifications are accepted, what documents need translation, and whether you need a visa or residence permit for study in Germany.
Germany has 326 universities, so this institution sits within a large higher-education system. Its main distinction is not scale but scope: it lists 11 diploma programmes, so it is narrower than many multi-faculty universities and better suited to applicants who already want one of those specific subject areas.
