Application Deadlines
In order to start a degree programme at TU Dresden, an application within a certain deadline is necessary. As a general rule, the application is submitted online via the application portal.
The relevant deadlines for your chosen degree programme are available through the Study Information System (SINS), on the page of each degree programme in the “application modalities” section. Please note that there are different deadlines for the start of degree programmes in the winter semester and in the summer semester. Only a limited amount of degree programmes permit to start the first semester of the degree in the summer semester. On the start page of the SINS via the “search” option you are able to obtain information about which degree programmes start in which semester.
There are also differences in the deadlines for German and international applicants.
Finally, you should check in the SINS whether your desired degree programme has limited admission (NC – numerus clausus) or if certain preliminary academic aptitude tests are required. Depending on these factors different deadlines might apply.
The application for a doctoral studies programme is possible within the following period of time for a start in the winter semester: 1st June until 15th September
For a start in the summer semester: 1st December until 15th March
