Applicant group C

• Applicants possessing German citizenship who are still in possession of citizenship of another country will be treated as German citizens for application and admission to a degree program, pursuant to the resolution of 28 May 1965 passed by the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs. This means: You must apply for the first degree semester in a degree program with restricted admission (with NC) as a German citizen! If not, your application will be rejected, or if already approved, approval will be withdrawn!
• Please note: Nationals of the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway who wish to apply for the first degree semester of a first degree program are in Application group E.
• If you possess citizenship for multiple countries not including Germany, you are free to choose with which citizenship you apply.

You apply for a first degree if you

• do not already have a degree from a university in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway
• already have a degree from a university in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway and would like to apply for a degree program with free admission (no NC)

ATTENTION: There is NO conditional or provisional admission at TU Berlin! Only a complete application in due time and form will be considered.

Selection process in the 1st degree semester of a degree program with restricted admission (with NC):

• From the total number of study places at TU Berlin, 8% are withheld for the admission of nationals of other foreign countries and stateless persons with foreign educational certificates. Within this preliminary quota "International", therefore, only applications from application group C will be considered.
   
• A ranking list will be formed, and the selection will be based only on the average grade. The waiting period has NO affect on the selection.
   
• In the main process, 50% of the study places will be offered to graduates of the Studienkolleg of the TU Berlin. Graduates of the Studienkolleg in are:
   
  • Persons who are enrolled at TU Berlin and have currently passed the "Feststellungsprüfung" at the Studienkolleg of the TU Berlin.
     
  • Persons who are enrolled at TU Berlin and have currently passed the "Einzelfachprüfung Deutsch" at level DSH-2 or DSH-3 at the precourse (Propädeutikum) of the Studienkolleg of TU Berlin.
     
  • Persons who have applied for the external "Feststellungsprüfung" or "Ergänzungsprüfung" via uni-assist for TU Berlin in the pre-semester in due time and form and have passed it in the current semester at the Studienkolleg of TU Berlin.
     
  • PLEASE NOTE: If you have completed the Studienkolleg/Propädeutikum in a winter semester and your desired course of study is not offered in the summer semester for the 1st degree semester, then you will be considered as a "Studienkolleg“ graduate when applying for the following winter semester. The prerequisite, however, is that you have not applied at TU Berlin for the summer semester.
     
  • The selection cut-off criteria within the preliminary quota "International" for the last two winter semesters can be found here (currently only in German).
     
• The selection process begins around mid-August each year for a winter semester or mid-February each year for a summer semester.

• The following apps will then be available at your tuPORT:
   
  • "Notices and certificates": There you will find your letter of acceptance, which you can save and print out yourself. The letter of acceptance will only be available as a download at this app. It will not be sent to you by e-mail or postal mail!

If you were previously enrolled in the same degree program with the same study and examination regulations at TU Berlin, you are a re-registrant.

When re-registering, you can only apply for the semester you were placed in by the TU Berlin examination board ("Fachsemestereinstufung"). The semester must fall within the standard period of study for your degree program AND be offered the semester you are applying (i.e. winter or summer semester). You must also submit a certificate of good academic standing from the TU Berlin Examination Office, confirming you still have the right to take examinations in the requested degree program. Please note that it is not possible to be placed back in the first degree semester!
