Application To apply you will require the following documents:Birth certificateProof of citizenship orCopy of your passportBachelor/diploma certificate or equivalent certificate from abroadLetter of motivationCV in table formPlease note: It is not possible to save incomplete online applications. You must complete your application in one session. Your application will be valid as soon as you upload all of the required documents and certificates. In the event that some documents (e.g. references) are not available at the time you apply, you may submit these later via email, mail or in person by no later than the start of the degree program.
Admission procedure The admission procedure includes a personal interview with the course director (approximately 30 minutes). The admission procedure takes place annually in May and June. You will receive an appointment for a personal interview after consultation with the Secretary’s Office. We can only provide alternative individual dates for the admission procedure by email.The admission procedure consists of an admission interview, in which we would like to learn more about your motives, skills and knowledge. Professional experience in the field of sonography is desirable, but not a requirement. The course director will decide this individually and the admission requirements must be fulfilled. The entire admission procedure is clearly documented and archived.
