Study and examination regulations as well as module descriptions

If available, please upload the study and examination regulations as well as the module descriptions of your 1st university degree (German or English) if you do not acquire or have not obtained your 1st university degree qualifying for a profession at TU Berlin. This enables a correct examination of the content-related admission requirements. Please mark the areas that are relevant for the fulfilment of the admission requirements. In this way, you support the examination board in its work and help it to come to a faster and clearer result regarding your suitability in terms of content.

Country-specific requirements

For graduates from India, the People's Republic of China, Vietnam and Iran, there are further country-specific requirements that must be met when applying. For more information, please visit the following page.

Please contact uni-assist to find out whether you need to submit additional documents for the preliminary review documentation (VPD). This depends on the country where you graduated.

Course-specific certificates

For some Master's degree programmes, further course-specific proof, e.g. proof of English language skills, may be required. You can find out whether this also applies to your desired course of study on our website and in the respective admission requirements of your desired degree programme. If you have formal or content-related questions about these certificates, please contact the responsible academic advisor of the degree program.

If you are required to provide work samples, such as in the Master's program in Architecture, please send them to us digitally with your other application documents.

If necessary, these proofs are requested as originals or simple copies in accordance with the ZZO. These proofs also only have to be submitted as PDFs.

Proof of German language skills

Proof is required for all German-language degree programmes.

ATTENTION: Citizens of Germany, Austria and German-speaking Switzerland with a foreign Master's entrance qualification also need proof of language proficiency at the required level. The identity card or passport is NOT sufficient as proof of language proficiency!
