Which applicants have to apply through ASSIST?

International student applicants have to send their application to ASSIST if they are:

1. Foreign nationals or stateless persons and have acquired a university entrance qualification from abroad, e.g. High School Diploma, A-Levels, Baccalaureat, Gaokao or similar;
2. Applicants from EU countries or the European Economic Area, i.e. from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway;
3. German nationals with a university entrance qualification from abroad without official German public authority recognition that their qualification is equivalent to the German university entrance qualification. This applies equally if you are already registered as a student in Germany (for example, if you are changing subject/discipline or university).

If one of these criteria apply to you, please send your completed application (see link on the application form for inter­na­tional student applicants) to ASSIST at the following address:

Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht (HWR) Berlin
c/o Arbeitsstelle für internationale Studienbewerber (ASSIST)
Helmholtzstraße 2 – 9
10587 Berlin
Germany

ASSIST will check for the Berlin School of Economics and Law whether applicants have submitted the following basic documents:

• A completed application form together with a Curriculum Vitae (CV) including details of all all previous academic education
• Officially authenticated copies and translations of the ori¬gi¬nal certificates and all documents as specified by the Berlin School of Economics and Law
• An official copy of the university entrance qualifications
• Proof of German language proficiency as specified by the BSEL
• If required, other test certificates

In addition to these basic requirements, the University regulations may require you to submit further documents; if so, these should be attached to your application when it is sent to ASSIST. All the documents as specified are required before your application can be processed and transferred to the Berlin School of Economics and Law.

Once your application passes the ASSIST system check, it will be transferred to the BSEL for further processing. The decision on whether you will be admitted to a course of study rests with the Berlin School of Economics and Law (BSEL) .
