How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →About the programme
The term sustainability is not generally defined. At the Faculty of Economics at Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences, we orient ourselves in particular to selected UN Sustainable Development Goals. These fall into the areas of ecology, social affairs and economy (3-pillar model).

For our Sustainable Business Administration course, economic aspects are inevitably in the foreground. However, since ecological goals such as climate protection, affordable and clean energy require economic implementation, as well as social goals such as decent work and less inequality, all three pillars of the model for sustainability are addressed.
Students should develop an awareness of the problem of sustainable management and work out the first possible solutions for companies.
The following PDF shows which UN goals we deal with in the respective modules.

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.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 15.08uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, 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.
