For other degree programs, the Faculty offering the program decides on a case-by-case basis whether a student can be admitted to early studies.

Pupils who would like to take part in the early study program require a written recommendation from the school principal, in which a special talent is certified and permission is granted to take part in courses at the University of Kassel during school lessons. Participation in the early study program and registration are free of charge.

Early studies can be started in the summer semester (April) or in the winter semester (October).

Pupils attend courses that are selected after individual consultation with a subject representative. Contact persons for the respective subjects are available during the semester for subject-related or organizational questions.

Admission is initially for one semester only. If you wish to continue your early studies, you arrange the courses for the next semester with your contact person in the Faculty, have this confirmed by your school and register again.

Certificates of achievement are only issued in the Faculties if a corresponding achievement has been made - attending a lecture is not sufficient for this. You can take part in written examinations or tests, give presentations or write term papers and have them assessed. Please arrange with your Faculty contact persons before the start of the course what you can use to obtain credits.

Credits from early studies can be credited to your later studies in the same field of study at the University of Kassel. The examination board for the respective degree program decides whether you can be placed in a higher semester based on the credits you have earned and thus shorten your studies. Your contact persons in the Faculty can advise you on this.

Please first contact the Department of Student and Academic Affairs at the University of Kassel. There you will receive information about your studies, all the necessary forms and the contact address of the contact person for the subject in which you wish to take up early studies.

You will discuss your study wishes and interests with the subject representative in the relevant Faculty and agree which courses you will attend. You will receive written confirmation on the registration form that the Faculty will accept you for early studies and which courses you can attend.
