Prerequisites

only comprehensive theoretical education from the Bachelor’s degree program is required, but also a comparable scope of laboratory courses in classical chemistry.

The Bachelor's degree program in Chemical Biology at TU Dortmund University is considered comparable. A German grade of at least 3.2 is required for admission to the Master’s degree program, as well as proof of English language proficiency at level B2.

your Degree certificate (if available).

If you have finished your studies, submit your Degree certificate.

Provisional Degree certificates can only be accepted if issued by a university or autonomous college and are only valid for 18 months after the completion of studies.

If after one year, your university has not yet issued your Degree certificate, provide an official letter from the university stating the expected date of issue (date of convocation).

a grading system including the following information:

the maximum and minimum grade needed for the award of degree at your university/college (the CGPA or percentage equivalent to "Pass Class", "Third Division" or the lowest classification). This also applies if your university does not define a specific minimum CGPA or percentage for graduation — the document must still indicate what is considered sufficient for graduation.

Please ensure that the details correspond to your specific programme and batch or graduation year.

This information is often found in the academic regulations, graduation requirements or on the back of your transcript of records.

Please note that many Indian universities have separate minimums for courses and for the award of degree. The minimum grade required for passing individual courses is not relevant and cannot be accepted.

In addition to the documents required by uni-assist, please complete and submit the following two documents with your application.

This document lists all the criteria for the admission to our Master's degree program. Please complete the table about your lectures and other courses on the theory of classical chemistry (not laboratory courses). This will help us to assess your application and you to find out, if your degree program(s) is or are comparable to ours.

In many cases, the credits on international graduates' transcripts and module descriptions are not comparable with the European Credit Transfer System. Therefore, we need information about the scope of your laboratory courses. The laboratory equipment, experiments, techniques and analytical methods are usually not listed in the module handbook. In addition, we need to know whether you have carried out hands-on experiments and how many students were in the groups. As a wide range of hands-on experience with different kinds of reactions is the prerequisite for our Master's degree program, you must be able to handle glassware, laboratory equipment and hazardous chemicals, taking into account safety regulations and environmental considerations.

Please add also a course catalogue/module manual as we need to be able to verify the information.

If, at the time of application, no proof of equivalent study is available, application to the Bachelor’s degree program in chemistry or chemical biology is only possible for the winter semester. If proof of equivalent study in a foreign country can be provided, and enrollment in a higher semester or in a Master’s degree program is desired, the application for the summer semester is also possible

Proof of competencies in the English language, which must at least correspond to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
