Applicants from Luxembourg or applicants with an AbiBac qualification

If you obtained your higher education entrance qualification in Luxembourg in accordance with Luxembourg law or you have acquired the Franco-German school leaving qualification AbiBac, you do not need to apply for preliminary review documentation from uni-assist and you do not need to provide proof of proficiency in German. The admission application and enrolment processes are carried out using the same criteria that apply to German applicants.
