APPLICATION PROCESS

How does the application process work?

Enrollment at the University is a prerequisite for admission to a degree program (specialized or pre-degree).
Enrollment at the university takes place

  • by enrollment as a student in a course of study (specialized studies) or
  • by enrollment as a collegiate student in the Academic Preparation Course (Preliminary Studies).

A change of program at the same university does not affect enrollment at that university. Only a transfer to the new degree program will occur. Re-registration for the following semester refers to enrollment at the university and not to a specific degree program.

 

The Enrolment regulations of the TU Ilmenau regulate the procedure of admission to studies as well as to other courses offered by the university, enrollment, re-registration, change of course and part-time studies of students as well as the procedure of admission as a secondary auditor and guest auditor at the Ilmenau University of Technology.

Note

The enrolment is only legally valid after receipt of the semester fee!

Further information about the application process can be found in the application portal.
