A palace among Rhine vineyards and a law school in the state capital: that is EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht, a private university for business and law west of Frankfurt. The business school has its roots at Schloss Reichartshausen in Oestrich-Winkel, and the law school is in Wiesbaden. Classes are small, fees are high by German standards, and many master's courses are taught in English.

APS certificate for applicants from India

EBS runs admissions in rounds through the year, with an interview or assessment day as part of selection. Non-EU applicants should apply by spring to allow time for the blocked account and visa.
Programmes start in the autumn, usually in September. Check each programme page for exact dates.
You'll need a national visa for study. The blocked account is the part people forget to open in time, so start it as soon as the admission letter arrives. Indian applicants also need an APS certificate.
The management, finance and real estate master's programmes and the general management bachelor are popular. Master's applicants need a bachelor's degree and IELTS 6.5, and selection includes an interview.
Ask EBS admissions about current merit scholarships and payment plans. The Deutschlandstipendium, a national merit award, is also offered at many German universities.
