Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

- 1. the direct relation to the nationwide core curriculum for the university subject of Professional and Business Education.
- 2. the polyvalence of the qualifications with regard to study and employment,
- 3. the consecutive nature of the program's design (with the subsequent degree of Master of Science, M.Sc.) and
- 4. the relation to teacher training.
In combination with the subsequent Master of Education degree program "Business Education (M.Ed.)", students can access the preparatory service for teacher training. In addition to the core academic subjects (Economics and a minor of choice), the Bachelor of Science in Business Education includes many modules related to methodology, teaching practices and business education.
Depending on their individual career perspectives, students can also choose another area of concentration (Corporate Accounting/Controlling, Business Informatics, German, English, Italian, Spanish, French, Mathematics, Physical Education, Protestant or Catholic Theology, Social Sciences and Law) in addition to the compulsory components of the program. In addition to the fundamentals of professional training (career-related teaching and learning, and professional socialization), the business education components of the curriculum include an introduction to the methods of empirical vocational research, teaching methodology and professional practical training. As an integrative course of study, the Bachelor of Science in Business Education at JGU offers a double qualification. On the one hand, the polyvalent degree opens the door to the Master's degree in teacher training, which follows on from it. On the other hand, the degree forms the nationally recognized prerequisite for work in companies, chambers, associations, ministries, business consultancies, etc. Taking the study location of Mainz into consideration, it must be mentioned in particular that there are two special chairs here for Business Education, which together provide a broad range of courses for developing professional skills as well as providing comprehensive support and counseling for students.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application after recognition of the certificate until 15.01Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
