Why is a counselling interview necessary?

Since 2009, it has been compulsory for all applicants who apply with professional qualifications to attend an advisory interview at a higher education institution. In the counselling interview, you will receive an overview of the study content, course of study and requirements as well as information on the application and admission process. This is an important aspect of your preparation for a degree programme.

At OTH Amberg-Weiden, the counselling interviews take place together with other vocationally qualified persons on a joint date before the start of the degree programme - in each case before the summer semester and before the winter semester. After your online application for a degree programme, you will receive an invitation to the counselling interview.

If you have already attended a counselling interview at another university in Bavaria, you are welcome to enclose the counselling certificate with your application.
