Pädagogische Hochschule Freiburg
Introduction
Die Pädagogische Hochschule Freiburg ist eine bildungswissenschaftliche Hochschule universitären Profils mit Promotions- und Habilitationsrecht. Sie betreibt bildungswissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung.
Forschung, Lehre und Nachwuchsförderung sind an der Hochschule eng miteinander verschränkt, denn Lehren und Lernen ist sowohl Kern der Hochschullehre als auch primäres Forschungsinteresse. Als besondere Entwicklung der letzten Jahre muss die intensive Vernetzung und interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit in bildungswissenschaftlichen Forschungsverbünden innerhalb der Hochschule, am Standort Freiburg (School of Education-FACE) sowie national und international angesehen werden.

- Enrollment
People from the European Union
Foreign EU nationals, ie citizens of a member state of the European Union without a German Abitur, are treated equally to German university applicants in terms of admissions. You take part in the selection process, ie the foreign Abitur average grade is converted into the German grading and converted into selection points. If necessary, please include evidence of your practical activities with your application to improve your chances of admission.
People from non-EU countries
People from a non-EU country with a foreign secondary qualification do not participate in the selection process. The Freiburg University of Education has an admission quota of 8% of study places available for this group of applicants.
Visa Requirements
Students from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan can enter with a tourist visa. You will then take care of the residence permit here on-site. Please note that you should not enter Germany via Switzerland.
As a student (and for a stay of 4 weeks or more) you must register as a resident at the Citizens Service Center. You do this after your arrival. We will help you with this step during the introductory week.
1. Documents for the bailiff service centre:
- ID card/passport
- Accommodation confirmation (this is issued by the landlord. In the case of students who live in the dormitory, the student union sends us the confirmation)
- Visa (for students who require a visa upon entry)
2. Documents for the immigration authorities:
All students from non-EU or EEA countries require a residence permit. This also affects students from Switzerland.

- Proof of German health insurance
- Student ID card
- Proof of sufficient financial resources (if not already proven when the visa was issued)
