Vocational training

3 years of vocational training followed by 3 years of practical experience in the profession learned

3 plus 3 rule

Three years of vocational training and then at least three years of professional experience?

This means that you can study in Lower Saxony on a subject-specific basis. Subject-specific means that only certain degree courses are open to applicants.

The profession must be related to the desired course of study. Clausthal University of Technology itself determines which profession matches our degree courses.
