Applicants with a degree from a foreign university

Esslingen University of Applied Sciences requires a university degree gained at a foreign university to be recognised by the Center for International Students at Constance University of Applied Sciences (Studienkolleg Konstanz).

The professional ability to operate in the vocational fields of relevance is improved overall by having the skill to adopt a research perspective and the enhanced pedagogical ability to reflect which results from this.
