Bachelor degree at HfK Herford
Schooling in Germany lasts longer than in other countries. Therefore, it is impossible to enter a university immediately after the 11th grade — first, you need to eliminate the academic difference. There are special educational institutions for foreign students — Studienkollegs. Only students who successfully pass the entrance exams are admitted to bachelor's programs.
The campus of the educational institution is suburban. The advantages of such a location include the ability to quickly get to the city, access to various types of recreation (in nature and in the city) and a close-knit student community.
Students have access to the extensive scientific library of the university. The collection of scientific papers helps them in conducting research. The university has everything for sports: sports grounds and clubs.
