Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg (DHBW) - Campus Lörrach

The Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg (DHBW) Campus Lörrach is a cooperative higher education institution located in Lörrach, Germany. The campus offers programs in economics, including the Bachelor "BWL - Personalmanagement" (Business Administration with a focus on Personnel Management) in a dual model: students alternate between periods in companies and theoretical phases at DHBW. The languages of instruction are primarily German, with some modules available in English depending on the curriculum. Studying human resources in Lörrach allows for a combination of academic learning and concrete professional experience — an asset for an international student seeking quick integration into the German job market. The campus also offers master's level programs through the DHBW Center for Advanced Studies, such as the Master "Personalmanagement und Wirtschaftspsychologie." Admission procedures and requirements (training contract/company partnership) are described on the official DHBW Lörrach website.

For international students wishing to obtain a degree from DHBW Lörrach (bachelor's cycle), admission occurs in two stages: first, obtaining a training contract with a dual partner (company/organization), then submitting this signed "DHBW Studienvertrag" to DHBW Lörrach to initiate enrollment (DUALIS). ([dhbw-loerrach.de](https://dhbw-loerrach.de/zulassung?utm_source=openai)) Degree requirements: candidates must meet the "Hochschulzugangsvoraussetzungen" according to the Landeshochschulgesetz of Baden-Württemberg. Candidates with foreign diplomas must have the "Gleichwertigkeit" of their certificates recognized by the Presidium of DHBW in Stuttgart or by the Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart; the recognition document must be included in the enrollment application. ([dhbw-loerrach.de](https://dhbw-loerrach.de/zulassung/?utm_source=openai)) Language level: the program pages indicate that instruction is primarily in German (some modules may be in English), but the site does not publish standardized levels/tests (TestDaF/DSH/TOEFL/IELTS) or accepted scores for the admission of international candidates; DHBW Lörrach recommends contacting the International Office or Studienberatung for specific requirements. ([dhbw-loerrach.de](https://dhbw-loerrach.de/fileadmin/studiengaenge/bwl-personalmanagement/Dokumente/230214_WPM_Modulhandbuch.pdf)) Procedure and documents: direct application to a dual partner (or via the Bewerberbörse), signing of the Studienvertrag, sending the signed contract to DHBW, then registration via the DUALIS-WebClient and submission of required documents (HZB, possibly equivalence decision, identity documents, certificates). The site also mentions legalization/beglaubigung obligations for certain documents. ([bewerberboerse.dhbw-loerrach.de](https://bewerberboerse.dhbw-loerrach.de/bewerberboerse/?utm_source=openai)) Fees: for Bachelor's (dual) programs, DHBW indicates that there are no tuition fees (being a state university) but there are semester contributions/fees (e.g., administration fee / Studierendenwerk); for the Master CAS "Personalmanagement und Wirtschaftspsychologie," fees are published (see the Gebührensatzung regulations). ([dhbw-loerrach.de](https://dhbw-loerrach.de/studieren/bewerben?utm_source=openai)) Visa / residence: the site recommends submitting the visa application to the consulate after receiving the letter of acceptance and provides timing indications (recommended notice of several weeks) via the International Office.
