- 1. Applicants with a Bachelor's degree from outside Germany must first apply via uni-assist (https://www.uni-assist.de/en/). Please apply there as soon as possible, as uni-assist needs several weeks to provide the Vorprüfungsdokument (VPD), which you need for your further application.
If you acquired your Bachelor's degree outside of Germany, uni-assist has to verify your eligibility to study in Germany and to convert your grades to the German grade system. You will have to submit all required documents to uni-assist online. The process takes a minimum of four to six weeks. You can apply there all year round.
2. PRIMUSS – THI application portal (https://www3.primuss.de/cgi-bin/bew_anmeldung_v3/index.pl): from 2 May until (expected to be) 15 July for the following winter semester or from 15 November until (expected to be) 15 January for the following summer semester
You will have to apply online at the PRIMUSS university application portal. You will have to upload all the necessary documents there, including your VPD. You can still upload documents within the respective periods (there will be deadlines per document in the upload area) after you have sent your application online (there is no need to send hard copies for an application).
