Private and public higher education institutions must fulfil the same quality criteria to get state accreditation. Since the so-called Bologna reform, which primarily stands for the introduction of bachelor's and master's programs, private and public higher education institutions and universities undergo the same accreditation process.<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_customAccordion][vc_customAccordion ct_class=\"faq\" ct_header=\"Are the requirements for bachelor's and master's programs at private and public state-accredited universities the same?\"]There are no major differences between private and public universities in terms of study requirements. Only persons who also meet the requirements for admission to a public university (university entrance certification) may be granted admission to a private university.<\/p>\n<p>The requirement for the admission to a bachelor's program at FAU is the General Higher Education Entrance Qualification (Abitur). There is no numerus clausus at FAU. Persons who do not have Abitur may also be able to study at FAU if they pass our assessment test.<\/p>\n<p>The requirement for the admission to a master's program at FAU is a university degree with a minimum grade of 2.0 to 2.5, depending on the program. In Saxony-Anhalt, there is no access to master's programs without a formal first university degree on the basis of professional qualification.[\/vc_customAccordion][vc_customAccordion ct_class=\"faq\" ct_header=\"What about tuition? How to finance studies?\"]As a private university run by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, FAU does not receive any government subsidies, but is financed by tuition and, to a much greater extent, by subsidies from the school authorities. Tuition range from \u20ac2,100 (bachelor's programs) and \u20ac2,340 (master's programs) per semester, depending on the program. The registration fee is \u20ac380 per semester.<\/p>\n<p>FAU students may receive BAf\u00f6G on application if they meet the conditions. The responsible office is Studentenwerk Magdeburg: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.studentenwerk-magdeburg.de\/finanzierung\/bafog\/\">https:\/\/www.studentenwerk-magdeburg.de\/finanzierung\/bafog\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>FAU students can do student jobs on campus and earn up to \u20ac450 per month. In general, students should not work more than 20 hours per week during the semester.<\/p>\n<p>Foreign students can apply for DAAD scholarships and receive up to \u20ac250 per month (at a maximum of nine months per year).[\/vc_customAccordion][vc_customAccordion ct_class=\"faq\" ct_header=\"Do FAU students have to belong to a religious community or a church?\"]No, people with totally different world views are studying at Friedensau Adventist University: Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, atheists.<br \/>\n<strong class=\"semibold\">As a free church Adventist institution we demand<\/strong> respect for other religions, world views, and cultures.
