Application
The Foreign Students' Office admits foreign students to the universities. The entrance application must be submitted by January 15 each year for the summer semester (beginning on April 1) and by July 15 for the winter semester (beginning on October 1).
The following documents should be enclosed along with the application:
a certified copy of the certificate for admission to higher education or in other words the foreign high school qualification
a translation (from an official translator) of the high school certificate
a passport-size photograph
bio-data with exact information about one's education (schools visited, exams taken etc)
proof of higher studies attended till now if applicable
language certificate as proof of required German language knowledge
an officially certified photocopy of the assessment test to determine the eligibility of foreign applicants to studies at institutions of higher education in Germany with subjects and mark list, if the test has been taken
The “central office for allocation of study places” (ZVS) plays a specific role. It's responsible for instance for allocating places for students for courses of study such as medicine.
Students who come from countries belonging to the European Union can apply for these subjects directly at the ZVS while all others must submit their applications to the Foreign Students' Office(Akademisches Auslandsamt).
Important: the admission notification alone does not provide entitlement to study. All students who require a visa for study purposes must enclose the admission notification along with the visa application.
From 1 May students from abroad have the opportunity to apply to several universities with only one set of documents through the ‘Application Services for International Students’ (assist). assist will check that all necessary documents have been included and that they meet the necessary formal requirements, and will then forward them on to the respective universities. The ‘Application Services for International Students’ is a joint venture of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Conference of University Rectors (HRK) and fifty universities.
From February 2005 foreign students will also be able to apply online to study at an university that is taking part in the assist scheme.
