Study without a university entrance-qualification

After graduating from school, many opt for vocational training. Getting a degree can be a good way to develop or choose a new path at a later point in time. 

Under certain conditions, you are also entitled to higher education without a university entrance qualification. Today, every German university offers degrees that don’t require one. You can study either full-time or part-time at an online university.
