To be considered for admission you must provide a University Entrance Qualification (UEQ) and choose one of three application tracks listed and detailed below. The University Entrance Qualification The central component of your application is a University Entrance Qualification enabling for direct access to study programmes at German universities (UEQ). Without a UEQ, it is legally impossible to enrol. What constitutes a UEQ depends on various aspects. We cannot assess whether your documents constitute a UEQ before you apply. We can only check your application documents after you submit your complete application. Application Tracks In addition to the UEQ, you need to provide additional qualifications. Depending on your ability to prove these additional qualifications you can choose one of the following three tracks: Provide documentation of having successfully participated in a science/informatics/mathematics Olympiad, and results from an English test. Provide the results of an aptitude test and an English test. Participate in an on-site interview. Note that you cannot apply for multiple tracks. You have to choose one when submitting your application. After you submit your application, you can no longer change between tracks.
