The original or an officially certified copy of the original certificate must be submitted by the official application deadline. The deadline for degree programmes with NC is the 15th of January 2024.

 

 

For degree programmes without NC, you can also apply with a recognised B2 certificate by the 15th of July. In this case, you will receive a conditional admission with an invitation to undertake our German language test for university admission Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang, DSH.
