What is the German term for 'admission to / into university'?

• A. Einschreibung
• B. Zulassungsbedingungen
• C. Studienzulassung
• D. die Hochschulzulassungsvoraussetzungen erfüllen

Answer: (C)

In German, the act of being allowed to study at a university is best called Studienzulassung. Einschreibung refers to the actual enrollment or registration as a student after you’ve been admitted. Zulassungsbedingungen are the admission requirements you must meet, not the admission itself. Die Hochschulzulassungsvoraussetzungen erfüllen means “to meet the university’s admission requirements,” which describes meeting criteria rather than the admission acted upon. So Studienzulassung is the closest match for “admission to / into university” because it directly denotes the permission to begin studying. For example: Sie hat die Studienzulassung erhalten.
