DAAD Glossary

Bachelor

A Bachelor's degree is an internationally recognised academic degree. It is generally awarded after six to seven semesters of university study. Typical examples of Bachelor's degrees are Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Science (BSc), Bachelor of Education (BEd), Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), but there are many more.

Hochschul- Zugangsberechtigung

"Hochschul- Zugangsberechtigung" stands for higher education entrance qualification, i.e. the university entrance qualification. Generally, applicants have to present either the general higher education entrance qualification (Allgemeine Hochschulreife or Abitur) or a subject-specific entrance qualification (such as the "fachgebundene Hochschulreife" or an institution-specific qualification, such as the Fachhochschulreife). Applicants may additionally be required to pass an admissions test or complete an internship.
