About the course

A seven-semester (210 ECTS) business degree taught entirely in English, covering business management, data-based decision-making and skills such as leadership and communication. Semester 6 is a compulsory semester abroad, and semester 7 (the thesis) is delivered entirely online.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • Germany’s recognition rules (KMK/anabin) accept the Leaving Certificate for direct entry only with the right subject mix: six subjects, at least two at Higher Level with H5 or better, the other four at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. For business and economics courses you also need Higher Level Maths at H5 or better. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. Hochschule Fulda publishes no Ireland-specific rule, so confirm with admissions.
  • The course is admission-restricted (not free of admission restriction), with a cohort of around 40; applicants are normally ranked on their school grade converted to the German scale. No entrance test, interview or portfolio is listed.
  • English at B2 level is required, except for applicants whose mother tongue is English, so native English speakers should not need a separate certificate; confirm with admissions. International students must take the ‘German for Business 1’ module.
