The University of Siegen requires applicants to meet specific eligibility criteria based on their chosen program. For bachelor’s degrees, a secondary school leaving certificate (e.g., Abitur or equivalent) is mandatory. International students must provide proof of German proficiency (TestDaF or DSH) for German-taught programs, or IELTS/TOEFL for English-taught courses.
Master’s programs demand a relevant bachelor’s degree with a minimum GPA, often 2.5 or better on the German scale. Some programs may require work experience or additional entrance exams. Doctoral candidates need a master’s degree and a research proposal approved by a faculty supervisor. Always check the program-specific requirements on the university’s official website.
