Admission Requirements

Bachelor’s degree
Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s (BSc) degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Material Science, Computer Science or equivalent programmes (Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Engineering or equivalent) with at least 180 ECTS. The final grade will be translated to the German grading system using the modified Bavarian formula. The translated grade should be at least a 2.7 (in the German grading system). The BSc must have been obtained by a nationally recognised university and be recognised by all partner institutions’ national legislation. If proof of qualification (bachelor’s degree) is not available at the time of application, students can be admitted conditionally. In this case, they need to submit an official statement from their university stating the expected graduation date and the missing courses in the application form. The final degree certificate and transcript of academic records have to be submitted until the 1st of August in the respective year to finalize the admission procedure. If the original language in the document is not English, an authorized translation has to be submitted as well.

The result of the test should be valid at least 14 days after the application deadline. Candidates that have obtained their bachelor’s (or master’s) degree in a study course taught in the English language in an EU country or in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the USA, or Switzerland do not require an English test result, if the study course was fully taught in the English language. For nationals of countries where English is the ONLY OFFICIAL language, proof of English language skills is also not required.
