Trial Studies
Applicants without a university entrance qualification (such as a high school diploma) and who have certain professional qualifications may be admitted to trial studies. If the trial studies are successfully completed, the university entrance qualification acquired with the study course is only valid for the chosen subject or subjects and only for studies at the University of Bremen. With trial studies, therefore, a subject-specific and location-bound university entrance qualification is acquired.

Examination Regulations
► Trial Course order (pdf, in German)
What are trial studies?
Trial studies are studies “on probation”. The participants, like their fellow regular students, take part in the regular courses of the chosen degree program and have to sit for the required examinations in the subject or in the subjects. If the examinations are successful, the successful students will have proven that they are able to study the subject in question and take up regular studies in the program. The course work completed during trial studies is recognized in full for the subsequent studies.
Prerequisite for Admission requirements for trial studies
There are the following requirements for admission to trial studies:
- Completed vocational training and
- A minimum of five years of gainful employment
The following substitute periods can be credited to gainful employment: military service, community service, a voluntary social / ecological year, management of a family household with at least one person in need of upbringing or care, and unemployment for a maximum of one year. Periods of vocational training in the German dual system do not count towards the five-year period of gainful employment.
