General requirements

A higher education entrance qualification to study at a German university is required, at the level of a German secondary school leaving certificate. Some countries' higher education entrance qualifications aren't equivalent to our German level, so applicants from these countries need to have additional academic experience. This can be a certain number of successful semesters at a recognized university at Bachelor level in a relevant subject (for EEB in engineering). Or alternatively one successful year at a Studienkolleg type T.

We can´t accept predicted grades for admission, we need your final results.

If your school leaving certificate isn´t available within our application period or if a higher academic level than your school leaving certificate is required, you could apply with a SAT or ACT test score and later submit your school leaving certificate.

No conditional admission will be given.

Our admissions committee focuses on Maths and Physics.
