Check the requirements

How to get into this programme

  1. 1
    Check your certificate and its recognition
    Direct admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
  2. 2
    German up to C1 and a certificate
    DSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
  3. 3
    Documents and translations
    Certified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
  4. 4
    Application after recognition of the certificate until 15.01
    Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
  5. 5
    Admission, visa, moving
    Plan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.

How to apply

You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.

Apply yourself

Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:

  • ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
  • ×a wrong set of documents
  • ×the application submitted the wrong way
  • ×errors or gaps in the application form
  • ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late

An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.

University application portal

StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.

If your level is not enough yet

The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
