Application Documents
In German: Hochschulzugangsberechtigung (HZB). This proves that you have reached a sufficient level of schooling to attend a higher education institution in Germany. If you did not earn your HZB in Germany, then you must apply through uni-assist so that the equivalency of your international HZB can be established. Uni-assist establishes equivalency based on official guidelines from the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (Kultusministerkonferenz), the German Rectors Conference (Hochschulrectorenkonferenz), and the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesеn).
All students at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences must complete an eight-week internship before the end of the third semester. It is often easier for international applicants – particularly those who speak little to no German – to complete this mandatory requirement in their home country before applying. For more details and additional requirements, please see the examination regulations of your desired study program.
Once you have completed this requirement, you can request an official recognition form from your faculty. Important: If your internship is not recognized by the end of the third semester, you will automatically be deregistered as a studеnt.
Testimonials
You graduated in 2015 with a degree in Agribusiness. Can you tell us a bit about your career path since then?
I worked for a few gardening companies even before I began studying. The business side of things always fascinated me the most, so I knew early on that I wanted a career in the plant business. The Lower Rhine is actually one of the largest hubs for commercial plant distributors in Europe (next to Aalsmeer, a region near Amsterdam in the Netherlands). Since I grew up there and wanted to live and work there in the future, I decided to do my internship semester in the Netherlands while I had the chance. In Aalsmeer I worked at a plant distributor for six months in early 2015 that catered primarily to large retailers in Germany (garden centres, DIY stores, supermarkets etc.) My time there left a lasting impression and cemented my plans to work in this industry after graduation. I was also able to improve my Dutch (I studied it in school years ago), which has really helped my career too. While working in the Netherlands I was lucky to receive job offers from both Dutch and German companies. I decided to work for Landgard, the largest consortium for flower and plant producers in Germany, in the city of Straelen.
