You want to be admitted to a degree program, an application had to be sent either to the university of your choice or to uni-assist. The following check-list shows you which papers and documents you generally have to enclose with your application. Please note that other or additional papers may also be required, depending on the university and degree program. Incomplete papers can also be a cause of rejection.
GRE is not required by most of the universities in Germany for an international applicant to be considered for a Masters or a PhD. Your academic background is given consideration.
What you'll need:
• Application Form for Admission to Studies: As a rule, you can obtain the application forms from the university of your choice (via the International Office).
• An officially or publicly authenticated photocopy* of all your educational records, certificates confirming any university entrance exams passed abroad, university certificates or degrees gained plus the relevant list(s) of individual grades per academic semester or academic year, plus the relevant list(s) of individual grades scored (e.g. a transcript of records).
• Proof of German language proficiency (for example, a TestDaF or DSH certificate)
• Passport photo (format: 4 × 5 cm maximum)
• Copy of your passport (page with name details and photo)
• Proof of any subject-related vocational training or any aptitude tests passed (required for applications for a study place in admissions restricted subjects or in subjects with an aptitude assessment test, such as sport, art or music).
