** The university entrance qualification is the school leaving certificate in the case of applications for an undergraduate degree program; in the case of applications for an advanced master's degree program, it is the first university degree. In the case of the Abitur, please note the following:
- A German Abitur can also be acquired at a German school abroad.
- The Feststellungsprüfung at the Studienkolleg does NOT count as a German Abitur.
- A university entrance qualification (e.g. the International Baccalaureate IB) acquired at an international school in Germany counts as a foreign university entrance qualification.
Additional Information for International Applicants:
We have compiled a list of FAQ for all international applicants due to the changes the current Corona crisis brings with it.
If you already have applied in the previous year at TU Dresden and have obtained an admission, but were unable to start your degree, please inform about the process for re-applicants.
Additional information for teacher study courses regarding subjects with entrance restrictions (NC – numerus clausus): In the teacher study courses “Teaching in Middle Schools”, “Teaching in High Schools” and “Teaching in Vocational Schools” you are required to select two teaching subjects as part of your application. If at least one subject has entrance restrictions, the application deadlines for study courses with entrance restrictions (NC – numerus clausus) apply. If your chosen subject combination has two teaching subjects with entrance restrictions (NC – numerus clausus), you will only be admitted to TU Dresden, if you are granted admission to both these subjects (full admission). In order to optimise your chances for a full admission, it is sensible to apply for multiple subject combinations. Please note that each application for an additional subject combination must be submitted separately via the online portal.
