Students who hold a suitable 4 year bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree may apply for advanced standing after enrolment. Such applicants will be considered for placement in the third semester of the program.
All advanced standing applicants will initially be offered acceptance to the first semester and are highly encouraged to pursue the full two-year programme.
Students who have completed at least a 4 year bachelor’s or master’s program (equivalent to a minimum of 240 ECTS) are eligible to apply for advanced standing based on their ability to provide proof of equivalent credits of up to 60 ECTS . These credits must be from courses that are part of their previous education, and equivalent to modules offered as part of the first year curriculum of the ITECH program.
Please note: advanced standing applicants might receive advanced standing on some or none of the course credits based on the committee’s assessment. Equivalent credits must be analogous to the course of study of the first year of the ITECH program curriculum and must also demonstrate high level of academic performance and design proficiency.
Due to the professionally accredited status of the program, all international applicant’s degrees will undergo an equivalence check to confirm eligibility within the German academic system and will be assessed on an individual basis.
