How to apply

The general procedure is the same for all programmes of the university; the required grade, language and additional requirements are on the page of each programme.

  1. 1
    Check your school-leaving certificate
    Direct admission, admission after a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — it depends on your country and certificate.
  2. 2
    German C1 and a certificate
    DSH, TestDaF or telc C1 Hochschule — before you apply, not after.
  3. 3
    Application via uni-assist
    Bachelor's until 15.07. Deadlines differ between programmes — check the programme page.
  4. 4
    Admission, visa, moving

If you don't meet the requirements yet

Two typical stops: a school certificate without direct admission and German below the required level. Both can be solved within a year, but plan them before you apply, not after a rejection.
