Applicants normally must have completed grade 10 and be in grade 11 at the programme start, have at least B2 German documented by Goethe-Zertifikat B2, show strong motivation to study in Germany, strong academic performance especially in STEM subjects, relevant olympiad/project participation or similar achievement, social competence, parental or guardian consent if under 18, and participate in an interview.

Applicants in temporarily occupied territories may receive an individual language assessment instead of the standard B2 examination requirement.
