Your application process
As a first step in the application process, please submit the following documents:
Your CV in English
Your most recent school reports, graduation certificate or transcript of records in German or English
Once we have received your documents, we will send you a qualification form by email. Please complete the form and return it to us. We will then verify whether you meet the eligibility criteria for the dual study program based on your CV, certificates and the information provided in the form.
If you meet the eligibility criteria, we will invite you to an online or in-person interview, depending on your location. The interview will be conducted in German. To help you feel well prepared, we will provide you with a guide in advance. During the conversation, you will have the opportunity to learn more about UCB and our dual study program—and, of course, to ask any questions you may have.
The final stage of the application process is an online assessment center, which will also be conducted in German and usually takes place in a small group. If you reach this part of the process, we will provide you with all the relevant details in advance.
