Application Process Overview:

The application process for Hochschule Pertha Frankfurt is structured to be clear and comprehensive, ensuring all necessary information is provided for a thorough review.

  1. Online Application Form: All prospective students must complete our secure online application form, available via the ‘Apply Now’ button on our website. This form will require personal details, academic history, and programme preferences.
  2. Academic Transcripts: Applicants are required to submit official academic transcripts from all previously attended educational institutions, from secondary school through to any prior university-level studies. For international applicants, these transcripts must be accompanied by certified English translations if the original language is not English.
  3. Letters of Recommendation: We typically require two letters of recommendation. For secondary and undergraduate applicants, these should ideally come from teachers or academic advisors who can speak to your academic abilities, work ethic, and character. For postgraduate applicants, recommendations from academic supervisors or professional mentors are preferred, highlighting your research potential or leadership capabilities.
  4. Personal Statement/Statement of Purpose: A compelling personal statement or statement of purpose is a crucial component of your application. This essay should articulate your academic and career aspirations, explain your interest in your chosen programme(s) at Hochschule Pertha Frankfurt, and highlight any relevant experiences, skills, or achievements that demonstrate your suitability for our institution. This is your opportunity to convey your unique voice and passion.
  5. Standardised Test Scores (if applicable): Depending on the programme level and your educational background, you may be required to submit scores from standardised tests. For undergraduate admissions, this might include A-Levels, International Baccalaureate (IB), or equivalent national examinations. For postgraduate programmes, this could include the GMAT or GRE, particularly for certain business or engineering disciplines. Specific requirements will be clearly outlined on the programme-specific admissions pages.
  6. English Language Proficiency: As our programmes are taught in English, non-native English speakers must demonstrate proficiency through recognised tests such as IELTS (Academic), TOEFL iBT, or Cambridge English Qualifications (e.g., C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency). Specific minimum scores will be detailed in the admissions guidelines for each programme.
  7. Portfolio (for Creative Arts & Digital Design): Applicants to our Creative Arts & Digital Design programmes will be required to submit a portfolio showcasing their creative work. This should demonstrate artistic skill, technical ability, and conceptual understanding relevant to their chosen specialisation. Detailed portfolio guidelines will be provided.
  8. Interview (by invitation): Shortlisted candidates for certain programmes, particularly at the postgraduate level or for competitive undergraduate disciplines, may be invited for an interview. This interview provides an opportunity for us to learn more about you and for you to ask any questions you may have.

We strongly encourage prospective students to review the specific admission requirements for their desired programme on our website, as these may vary. Our admissions team is dedicated to guiding you through this process and is available to answer any questions you may have. We look forward to receiving your application and potentially welcoming you to the Hochschule Pertha Frankfurt community, where your potential will be nurtured and your future will be shaped.
