4 steps to a dual study program

General Admission requirements

Admission requirements for studying at the Wine Campus are a certificate of higher education entrance qualification, entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences or previous training recognized as equivalent (e.g. master winemaker, viticulture technician). There is no Numerus Clausus .

If your Abitur certificate is not yet available, you can enclose the last (half-year) certificate of your school education with your application in order to obtain provisional admission for the prosemester. The final certificate must be submitted after receipt.

Winemaker training contract

In the dual study program, vocational training is closely interlinked with studies. Practical phases in the training company alternate with phases at the Wine Campus. For this reason, it is not possible to complete a dual course of study without a training contract with a winery. You should therefore look for a training place in good time. If you have not yet found a winegrowing company for your apprenticeship, you can get to know our more than 400 training companies at the training exchange Dual Match . You can also register as an applicant there and be found more quickly by the companies.

If you have already trained as a winemaker, you can also apply directly for the Bachelor's degree program in Viticulture&Enology.

Approval of the training contract

The training company sends the originals of the training contract to the responsible authority for approval, depending on the federal state, e.g. the Chamber of Agriculture or the regional council. IMPORTANT! After signing, please make a copy and have it handed over, as this copy is part of the application documents.
