Note on the Fachhochschulreife:
The Fachhochschulreife consists of a school-based and a practical part. It is regularly acquired through successful attendance at the Fachoberschule, which is run at vocational schools. In addition, there are other ways to obtain the Fachhochschulreife, provided certain requirements are met. The award of the entrance qualification for studies at universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulreife) must be presented together with the school-leaving certificate for enrolment. The School Information Centre checks whether the requirements for the award of the Fachhochschulreife have been met. You can find further information here.
