Fresenius publishes the programme's length in semesters but no credit total: the key-facts box on its English programme pages is loaded by JavaScript and is not in the page's HTML, and the DAAD entry gives no credit figure either.

From the DAAD International Programmes entry, which Fresenius supplies; AMD's own page publishes no tuition figure. The entry lists a higher rate for applicants from non-EU countries and, unlike the other Fresenius programmes, a semester contribution of about €20 instead of "included in tuition fees". List price; 10% off for Fresenius's own alumni and for siblings of its students.

Institution-wide statement: every Fresenius degree programme is state-recognised and accredited before it starts, and the accreditation runs until the last graduate. Fresenius is system-accredited by the German Accreditation Council, so its programmes are accredited through its own quality system rather than individually by an agency. The German programme pages repeat "Akkreditierung Staatlich anerkannt und akkreditiert".

Rules for applicants from India, Pakistan and Nigeria

English test waiver
Possible for applicants from Nigeria, named by the university, or because English is an official language there, or with a school-leaving certificate from an English-medium school or with enough English at school, or with a previous degree taught in English
Source
“We might also be able to waive the language requirements, in case you apply from a country where English is the official and educational language … with a citizenship of one of the following countries … Nigeria … you need to provide evidence of the length of your studies in that particular”
“In case you can provide a school or University degree from an English-speaking country, we are able to recognise your English language proficiency as follows: … Secondary school - B2 Level … University degree (graduated) - C1 Level” page
“Claiming that you are using English on a native-speaker level is not enough for us to recognise your English language proficiency.” page

www.hs-fresenius.com/wp-content/uploads/Guidelines-English-Language-Proficiency.pdf · checked 14 November 2026

Fresenius's English-proficiency guidelines list the countries whose citizens can have the test waived because English is the official and educational language. Nigeria is on that list; India and Pakistan are not, so applicants from India and Pakistan need a test or one of the other listed routes (a school or university degree from a country Fresenius counts as English-speaking, a semester studied in English abroad, or three to five years' work experience in an English-speaking country). Because Nigeria is one of the countries Fresenius counts as English-speaking, Nigerian applicants can also use the guidelines' "Foreign degrees" route: a secondary school certificate is recognised as B2 and a completed university degree as C1. Even so, Fresenius asks for evidence of the length of the studies in the country, for example a confirmation of the medium of instruction, and it states that claiming native-speaker level is not enough on its own; its only nationality-alone exception is for the UK, USA, New Zealand, Ireland and Australia.

Rules that name these countries
  • India: Indian applicants should complete their application without waiting for the APS certificate; Fresenius's International Office can ask the APS Team India to prioritise the case once the visa documents have been issued.

    “Special advice for Indian students regarding the APS : Once you receive your letter of acceptance, please complete your application as soon as possible. You do not need to wait for the APS certificate.”

  • Nigeria: Nigeria is on Fresenius's list of countries whose citizens can have the English-test requirement waived because English is the official and educational language, on evidence of the length of their studies in the country; India and Pakistan are not on that list.
