Which term means 'to be admitted to university'?

• A. Sich einschreiben, Kurse belegen
• B. Zum Studium zugelassen werden
• C. Die Hochschulzulassungsvoraussetzungen erfüllen
• D. Studienzulassung

Answer: (B)

Being admitted to university is about being granted permission to start studying. In German, the natural way to express that idea is with the verb phrase zum Studium zugelassen werden—the passive form meaning “to be admitted to study.” This captures the moment you receive access to begin your studies at the university.

Sich einschreiben, Kurse belegen describes enrolling or registering for courses, which happens after you’re admitted—not the admission itself. Die Hochschulzulassungsvoraussetzungen erfüllen means to meet the admission requirements, which relates to eligibility rather than the actual admission decision. Studienzulassung is a noun referring to admission to studies or the process of being admitted, but it does not express the action of being admitted.
