The decision for “your” university for a master degree is one of your most important biographical decisions. It can be reached in a more substantiated way than is the case with high-school graduates since they come fresh from school and do not yet know the university system.
As a private university, Zeppelin University (ZU) chooses its students in a unique selection process because the choice of our students is one of the major decisions for us.
The selection process is based on two assumptions:
1 Intelligence and the ability to study are not necessarily related to an applicant’s grade
in their university entrance examination. We look for people who – regarding their age –
have achieved something special and excellent. We also know that excellent
performance does not necessarily mean good grades in school. Therefore, we
place high emphasis on excellent project and life experiences.
2 Intelligence and the ability to study are not necessarily related to the parents´ financial
background. That means that every applicant who is offered a place at Zeppelin University
can study here – irrespective of the financing of the program.
Right from the start we get involved with you personally – just as we do with our students.
Our Selection Process: Subjective and Fair
As we get involved with our applicants personally, the ZU selection process may well be one of the most subjective procedures in the German educational system. Two reasons for this subjectivity:
1 The group of those who make the selection decision is never the same. In addition to
professors, staff, and students there are always external people involved – citizens,
entrepreneurs, journalists, museum directors, politicians, etc.
2 There are no lists of criteria for the selection, but these will be discussed individually in
the selection committee. The criteria of the applicant lie in him- or herself! The following
criteria play no role for us: age, gender, nationality, religion, and previous university
experience.
Interested? Then apply now.

"The selection process at Zeppelin University was for me just like the place itself: creative, disturbing and again and again challenging to self-reflection.
The impression that the selection days provide is this: here people deal with themselves and the world exploratively, with knowledge as well as non-knowledge critically and creatively."
