– Applicants must provide a secondary school leaving certificate. For those with a German certificate, including Abitur or Fachhochschulreife, the verification is done in-house. For non-German certificates, the verification is completed via a ministry check or entrance exam.
– Proof of English proficiency at a minimum B2 level is required. While certificates are preferred, this requirement can be waived if English is the applicant’s native language or if they have completed a degree program taught in English.
– Applicants must demonstrate their motivation through the application form and during the admission process.
– An admission interview is mandatory and is used to assess the applicant’s eligibility and alignment with the program.
– Applicants must be able to attend mandatory evening course discussions, which are scheduled at 6 PM CET. Accommodations for other time zones are currently limited until there is a critical mass of learners in those regions.
– Adherence to ToU’s community guidelines, which emphasize a spirit of service, is required. This is assessed during the admission process, including the interview.
– A letter of motivation must be submitted to explain the applicant’s reasons for joining the program. If an applicant has participated in a company-sponsored challenge (e.g., Deutsche Bank), they may be exempt from submitting the letter but must still demonstrate their motivation during the interview.
