Here's how it works! Application and enrolment

First things first: Please check that you’ve prepared all the required documents for your application.
You’ll find a full overview in the checklist, which you can download at the bottom of this page.

1. Step 1: Online Application
   Register on the inCampo application portal and complete your online application there.
   Submit your application online within the deadline – there’s no need to send anything by post.

   Upload your university entrance qualification, your CV, and – if required – any additional supporting documents.
   Please note: Only PDF files are accepted.

    

2. Step 2: Application Review
   Once your application has been received, we will review your documents.
   Please check the application portal regularly to see the current processing status of your application.
   If we need any additional information or documents, you’ll receive a notification there.

   As soon as your application is complete and you can be admitted, your letter of admission will be available for download in the portal.
   It will not be sent by post and includes all the important information about enrolment.

    

3. Step 3: Online Enrolment
   You will also use inCampo for your enrolment.
   Complete the online enrolment form and submit it electronically – again, no postal submission is required.

   Please upload a passport photo, which will be used for your student ID.

    

All done?
Once we’ve received all the required enrolment documents and your fees have been paid, you’ll be officially enrolled.
Before the semester begins, your login details will be available for download in the portal.
With these, you can, for example, access your digital student ID via the TH Bingen app.

We wish you a great start to your studies at TH Bingen!

• Please remember: Make sure to submit your complete application for the degree programme on time.
• To prove your higher education entrance qualification, please upload your school certificates or a recognised vocational qualification.
• To be admitted to a Master’s programme, you need a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant subject area.
• If you’re applying for an English-taught Master’s programme, you’ll need to provide proof of sufficient English language skills.
  If you’re applying for a German-taught programme and German is not your first language, you must provide proof of your German language proficiency.

To be admitted to a Master’s programme, you need a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant subject area with a minimum final grade of 2.5 (German grading scale).

If your final grade is up to 3.0, it may still be worth applying if you can provide additional qualifications, such as:

• practical experience in the relevant field,
• completion of your degree within the standard period of study,
• active involvement in student representation, or
• a semester abroad.

In such cases, your application will be assessed individually, but please note that admission cannot be guaranteed.

You can find the specific academic requirements for your Bachelor’s degree on the information pages of each Master’s programme.

There are many different ways to start your studies with us – not just with the traditional A-levels!

General or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification
With this qualification, you can start your studies at TH Bingen right away.

No A-levels? You can still apply
If you left school after Year 12, you can still qualify for admission:
→ Combine your school leaving certificate with one year of practical experience, a Voluntary Social Year (FSJ) or a Voluntary Ecological Year (FÖJ), and you’ll meet the entry requirements.
For a practice-integrated degree programme, we may even admit you without the additional practical year.

Starting your degree with a vocational qualification
If you have completed a recognised vocational training programme with a final grade of 2.5 or better, you are eligible to study at a University of Applied Sciences.
For work-integrated degree programmes, a grade of up to 3.0 is sufficient if you also have at least three years of professional experience and a recommendation from your employer.

Master craftsman and advanced qualifications
If you hold a master craftsman’s certificate or an equivalent advanced qualification, you are also eligible to study – regardless of your final grade.

❓ Advisory service for professionally qualified applicants
If you plan to apply through a vocational route, we offer a personal consultation before the start of your studies. Simply contact the programme-specific advisory service for your chosen degree.

❓ Not sure if your qualification is enough?
No worries – our Central Student Advisory Service will be happy to check whether your certificates meet the admission requirements.

For the winter semester, the application period starts on 15 November.
For the summer semester, it begins on 2 May.

You can find the application deadlines for each semester here.

For your enrolment, we require proof of your health insurance coverage.
Please note that due to legal regulations, we can only accept this proof electronically.

Please contact your health insurance provider and ask them to send the notification electronically to TH Bingen.
The sender number for TH Bingen is H0001634.

If you have private health insurance, please also contact a statutory health insurance provider. They will electronically confirm that you are exempt from the compulsory statutory health insurance.

For enrolment and re-registration in subsequent semesters, please transfer the semester fee. You can find the amount and the included services here.

Please find more information about the specific requirements.
