Applying to study at TU Dresden
You must submit your application to study at TU Dresden with uni assist, the working service point for international student applications. uni assist works on TU Dresden’s behalf to make sure the submitted application documents are complete and the formal prerequisites for admission to the desired degree program have been met. If these requirements are met, the application is forwarded to TU Dresden for final review and admission. The use of uni assist’s application services are subject to a fee.
We recommend submitting more than one application via uni assist, i.e. applications for multiple degree programs at TU Dresden (which actually interest you). If you are not admitted to your preferred degree program, this will open up the opportunity to be admitted to a second or third-choice degree program.
You can find more important information on applying with uni assist on the International Office’s website.
