Please note that only complete applications will be processed by the course examination board. -
Await the confirmation letter
If your application is accepted, the course examination board will send you a confirmation letter, stating that you are accepted for the master's program. Simultaneously, we will send your papers to the International Office that will make sure that all requirements for entrance to our university are met. If this is the case, you will receive a letter from the TUD International Office with a certificate called "Zulassungsbescheid". This letter should be used to apply for your student visa at the German Embassy of your home country. (You are not allowed to study with a tourist visa!)
