For applicants who require a visa:

15 February until 31 March

For applicants who require no visa (e.g., because you already hold a residency permit in Germany or are an EU / EEA citizen):

15 February until 15 September

Before you start entering your data in the online application form, please make sure you have all documents required for application ready in pdf format:

The transcript of grades must show the exact module names and the credits or workload earned (module handbooks are not accepted).
  Transcripts up to one semester before you graduate may replace the certificate and complete transcript until you graduate. In this case and provided the entrance requirements are met, a conditional admission letter will be issued upon your admission to the programme and the hardcopies of your final certificates must be presented for enrolment.
• Certificate of APS (for applicants from China, India and Vietnam)
• Proof of English language skills on level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference of Languages (CEFR)
