What documents do I need?

As part of the online application for this degree program, I need the following documents:

  1. Scan of my university entrance qualificationcertificate (e.g. general higher education entrance qualification (Abitur), entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences (Fachabitur))
  2. Proof of health insurance ("Insurance confirmation for university")
    Membership certificates are not accepted. Please apply to your statutory health insurance company for a digital insurance certificate ("Meldung 10") for enrollment at the University of Kassel, which the health insurance company will send electronically directly to the University of Kassel. Please inform your health insurance company of the University of Kassel's sender number. This is: H0000479. If you are privately insured, you must contact a statutory health insurance company with your private insurance certificate. The statutory health insurance company will then notify the University of Kassel digitally that you are "not subject to (statutory) health insurance".

  7. 7.UniAccount and Co.

    • I receive a welcome e-mail with important data.

    To ensure a successful start to your studies, we will familiarize you with three important terms: matriculation number, UniAccount and CampusCard.

      Matriculation number
      This is your personal identification number. It is on your student ID card (=CampusCard) and is required, for example, for exam registrations or certificates.

      UniAccount
      The UniAccount is your user identification (UserID) for the various online services of the university, e.g. the WLAN and is linked to a university e-mail address. After activation, all communication from the university will take place via this e-mail address. Please activate your UniAccount as soon as possible.

      CampusCard
      We will send your CampusCard to the address stored in eCampus. It is an important part of everyday student life at the University of Kassel. It is used as a student ID card and semester ticket, as a library card, as an electronic wallet for paying in the canteen and as a cultural ticket.

    • 8.CampusCard

      • I will receive the CampusCard by post as soon as I have transferred my semester fee.

      The CampusCard is your student ID card for the entire duration of your studies. It is also your library card, cultural ticket, payment card in the canteen, photocopying card, etc. Further information can be found here: CampusCard

    • 9.Introduction

      • I inform myself on the subpage"Introduction and start of studies - Important dates".
      • I attend the introductory events in the first week of the semester (before the regular start of lectures) and find out how the timetable is drawn up. Only then do I create my own timetable.

      The introductory events answer key questions about the structure of the degree program. Here you will find tips and advice on how to organize your studies and the course of study. The timetables are drawn up during this time. You will also get to know your future fellow students and the campus. So: make sure you go!
