Because a decision to study demands early and often long-term planning, we are now enabling prospective students to apply to the Zeppelin University three semesters in advance.

Interested? Please note the language requirements

Although a good number of courses are offered in English at ZU, students will not be in a position to complete a degree program fully in English. Knowledge of English is preferred; knowledge of German is an absolute necessity. ZU requires that all degree-seeking applicants demonstrate a minimum of intermediate-level German skills.


Our Master in International Relations & Global Politics | IRGP is not affected. It is held entirely in English.
