uni assist

TU Dresden is a member of the “Application Services for International Students” (“Arbeits- und Servicestelle für Internationale Studienbewerbung” uni-assist).  This means, that applicants with an international school or university certificate must apply for admission to university studies in Germany via uni assist.

On behalf of TU Dresden, uni-assist evaluates whether the submitted application documents are complete and meet all the requirements for the desired university degree programme. If this is the case, the application is forwarded to TU Dresden for a final assessment and the admission decision.

Applications via uni assist must be done online. All application documents have to be uploaded by the deadline.

You can consult the DAAD or the Anabin admission databank regarding the important country-specific requirements and check if your certificates in principle make you eligible for university admission in Germany.
