Application and admission

There are no application deadlines for our degree programmes. That means you can still apply shortly before the start of the semester. However, if you are a non-EU citizen and need a visa to study in Germany, we recommend that you apply at least four months before the start of the semester so that you have enough time to prepare your visa.

No, there is no numerus clausus for any of the degree programmes at the SRH Dresden School of Management. After a successful application, we will conduct a personal interview with you and check whether the course contents match your interests, previous achievements, and professional goals.

The easiest way to apply is via the SRH application portal. There you will find all degree programmes of the SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences for the locations Dresden, Berlin and Hamburg and can upload your documents directly. Alternatively, you can also send us your application by e-mail or post (Georgenstraße 7, 01097 Dresden).

You can find the exact details of your options here.

If you will soon be completing your high school diploma/Bachelor's degree and do not yet have a degree certificate, please send us your current intermediate/semester report with your grade point average. This will enable us to grant you provisional admission. However, before you start your studies, we will need your degree certificate in order to be able to finally admit you to the chosen programme.
