Recycling and Waste Management

We warmly welcome any student from abroad who is interested in environmental issues.

With the entry into force of the German "Circular Economy Act" on 1st June 2012, waste management has now fundamentally changed into closed-cycle management.

Its waste generation and waste management are carried out with particular attention to the sparing use of natural resources and protection of the people and the environment.

In particular, graduates will acquire competence in the fields of waste prevention, waste utilisation and waste treatment.

Essentially this provides an integrated education programme combining a technical orientation with content from the natural sciences.

A higher education entrance qualification is a general prerequisite for admittance to the programme of study. International applicants must provide proof of educational qualifications that permit study in Germany (school-leaving certificate, certificate of university attendance).

The DAAD database on admission requirements allows international students to check whether they meet the requirements for the degree programme of their choice in Germany.

The language of instruction is German. Foreign applicants must prove they have adequate knowledge of German. Evidence of the necessary German language skills can be provided in the form of:

• Goethe Certificate C1
• DSD II
• DSH I
• TestDaF (minimun level 3 in the examination modules)
• TELC Deutsch C1 Hochschule
• ÖSD C1

Applicants who are unable to fulfil the specified admission requirements may contact a preparatory college (‘Studienkolleg’). These specifically prepare foreign applicants for a course of study in Germany. Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences does not have its own preparatory college. The state-run preparatory college responsible for our institution is located at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Köthen.
An overview of all preparatory colleges in Germany can be found here.
In Magdeburg you can find a private preparatory college: Europäisches Studienkolleg der Wirtschaft (ESKW)
