Information Application and Beginning of the Study Program
CHANGES IN ADMISSION PROCESS
- For International Applicants
The applications will be handled via Uni-Assist. Tentatively the application period will be to 15th of January for Summer Semester and 15th of July for Winter Semester each year. There is no "first-come-first-serve" policy!
Since 2023 it is mandatory for Indian students to provide an APS certificate. We are aware that this induces extra efforts. As we are working on mitigation for problems which arise hereof, the most up to date information can be found on the pages of our international office.
Please note that an APS certificate can be requested for your most up to date study records, too. This enables your option to apply BEFORE you have finally finished your degree. In case you are deemed to qualify for admission this way, you will get that information and you will be requested to send your final degree as soon as possible. A formal application then will be issued as long as the previous qualification hypothesis still holds.
- For National Incomers
Please use the TU Dortmund site www.campus.tu-dortmund.de to apply inside the regular application window. In this case, the deadlines published in that location do apply.
THINGS TO AVOID
Please don't send in hardcopies of documents. All mandatory documents will be checked in originals or certified copies during the inspection at the enrollment.
THINGS TO NOTE
- Please don't send hard copies of any kind. Originals or notarized copies will be used in the visa process or during enrollment.
- There's no "update", once you have sent your application, it will be processed as it is.
- There's no status report of your application before decision.
- If you are studying in your final year, send all marks as collected so far. In this case we need a statement of tentative completion date which MUST carry the full title of the degree you are aspiring to reach.
- Questions regarding items listed here will not be answered.
- LANGUAGE CERTIFICATES:
- Make sure that your language proficiency test was taken before 2 years (to the day) in advance of the application deadline. Any older certificates will turn void on that date and can not be used for further applications!
- Please make sure that Medium of Instruction Certificates will not be accepted
- GRE is not required
