Admission degree-seeking students

The application to most study degrees is done via the Online Application Portal. In some cases (e.g. international programs), special procedures and forms are required. For this reason always follow the instructions for the program you have chosen.

The online application is available during a certain period, in general approx. two months before the application deadline. You do not need to send any original documents or certified copies.

After deadlines close, you can consult the status of your application online. The results will reach you in time to obtain your visa – allow at least two weeks after the application deadline closes.

One more thing: Please refrain from enquiring (on the phone or in any other way) about your status during the admission process. You can log in to the application platform to stay informed. Thank you for your cooperation.

Most degree programs begin twice per year, i.e. in September (winter semester) and March (summer semester). A few programs begin only once a year.

Application deadlines for degree-seeking students vary according to the selected program. Please consult the pages of the specific program.

Important: For applicants from outside the European Union, earlier deadlines frequently apply, i.e. 15 May and 15 November respectively. Make sure that you observe the deadline that applies to the program of your choice.

In Germany, access to studies as a degree-seeking student is strictly regulated by law. Here are the current regulations in brief:

• To qualify for a bachelor’s degree program, every applicant needs a higher education entrance qualification (Abitur or equivalent). This school-leaving certification must have been completed in specific subjects that correspond to the intended university degree program. In some cases, we require university experience for admission to bachelor's degree programs (see info on school-leaving certificate below).
• For master's degree programs, previous studies must qualify you for the focal area chosen.
• Foreign certificates need to be certified by an appropriate agency.
• For international programs, specific requirements apply.

In all cases, you will need to provide proof of sufficient language proficiency in the tuition language(s) for your chosen course.

Important: Some of our degree programs have admission restrictions known as NC (which means restricted number), e.g. a certain average grade is required for admission.

Go to the DAAD site for further information.

• Regular programs: For admission to a regular bachelor's or master's degree program, either a German school-leaving certificate or the official proof of language proficiency is required by law (see FAQ). If you do not have a German school-leaving certificate (nor a Sprachdiplom II from a Deutsche Schule abroad), you will need official proof of advanced German language proficiency for admission: DSH (2 or 3) and TestDaf (4 in all sections) or telc German C1.
• International programs: Special requirements apply for some international programs, i.e. that applicants either need no previous knowledge of German or B1 level before enrolling. International programs taught in English might require a high language proficiency in English (see the respective prerequisites).

If you have obtained your higher education entrance qualification (HZB) after finishing your secondary education in Germany, you are a Bildungsinländer (you completed your education in Germany) and can apply regardless of your nationality.

Deutsche Schulen outside of Germany that are accredited by the Kultusministerkonferenz and have the full rights to award the German Abitur issue valid higher education entrance qualifications for studying in Germany.

Since the language certificate Deutsches Sprachdiplom der Kultusministerkonferenz der Stufe II is equivalent to DSH, no further proof of language is required.

The application can be sent directly to Technische Hochschule Mannheim.

If you are a German national but have attended a secondary school abroad, you must first apply for recognition of your higher education entrance qualification. Please contact the Regional Council (Regierungspräsidium) in Stuttgart.

Please note: The following does not apply to applicants for the Bachelor Electrical Engineering EEB. Please follow the application instructions on the website of the department.

For all other degree programmes: As an applicant — to Technische Hochschule Mannheim or any University of Applied Sciences in the state of Baden-Württemberg — with a higher education entrance qualification from a non-German-speaking country, you will need to first contact Studienkolleg Konstanz (Center for International Students) to have your international records validated. If approved, it will issue you a higher education entrance qualification certificate.

If your higher education entrance qualification certificate does not qualify you for direct access to studing at a German university, you will have to pass a test (Feststellungsprüfung) in four areas of knowledge. You can prepare for this test in one of the so-called Studienkolleg centers.

The Studienkolleg Konstanz also checks whether your command of German is sufficient to attend a course with German as the tuition language.

For applications from students from India, it is mandatory to present an APS certificate, provided that the applicants are not already in Germany and do not have to go through another visa process and/or have the highest degree relevant to the assessment within of India were acquired.

Please contact the APS and get your documents verified before applying to Technische Hochschule Mannheim.
