Additional program­specific admission requirements

To apply for the human movement science program, you must pass a sports aptitude test. This applies if sport is the teaching subject for a teacher training degree as well as for the bachelor’s degree in human movement science as a major or a minor. You must provide proof that you have passed the sports aptitude test at enrollment: www.uni-hamburg.de/sportpruefung (in German only).

Prospective teachers are sometimes unsure whether the curriculum will meet their expectations or if they have the necessary skills to successfully complete the degree and pursue a teaching career. The Career Counselling for Teachers (CCT) self-assessment will help you to decide whether to apply for a teacher training degree. Use this online self-assessment to determine whether you are suited to a career in teaching.

Completion of the self-assessment is part of the application and admission procedure. Go to www.cct-germany.de (in German only), select “Geführte Touren” (Guided tours) in the menu bar at the top, and complete Tour 1. In addition to the code you selected, please also enter the group name (“Uni HH”). Once you have completed the tour, print out the verification, enter your name, and submit it with your enrollment application once you have been admitted. The self-assessment is completely anonymous and has no influence whatsoever on the awarding of places.

Completion of a self-assessment is also part of the application and admission procedure for the bachelor’s degree in molecular life sciences. The self-assessment is free and proof of completion must be submitted with your enrollment application if you are admitted. The self-assessment has no influence whatsoever on the awarding of places at Universität Hamburg. The self-assessment and feedback in the research questionnaire are completely anonymous. The self-assessment is available at http://webapp6.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/elb-min/self-assessment/MLS.htm (in German only).

In addition to your higher education entrance eligibility, you must also provide proof of relevant vocational training or a professional internship lasting at least twelve months at enrollment. A completed degree does not automatically substitute vocational training or an internship.

Exception: Due to the current shortage of teachers for metal technology and electrical engineering / information technology, you can apply to these degree programs without having completed vocational training. You must then complete a professional internship during your studies.
