Target group

  • External applicants with certificates from a foreign educational institution (secondary school or university) should follow the procedure below when applying for a degree program at the Technische Universität Ilmenau (TUIL).

    The application process begins on the uni-assist portal and continues on the TUIL Campus Portal.

    The final decision regarding admission to a degree program is made by TUIL. The decision - whether to grant admission or to deny it - is explained in the TUIL Campus Portal.

Basis for the admission decision

  • Formal entry requirements

    As part of the assessment of formal entry requirements for degree programs, uni-assist checks whether foreign school or higher education qualifications meet the criteria for university entrance eligibility (HZB) in Germany. 
    In doing so, the foreign grades are converted to the German grading system and the foreign qualification is compared with the requirements of the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZaB).
    Once the formal entry requirements have been successfully verified, uni-assist forwards the applicant’s data and documents to the TU Ilmenau.

    Subject-specific entry requirements

    When applicants apply for a Master degree program, TU Ilmenau uses the data and documents provided by uni-assist to further assess the applicant’s subject-specific entry requirements for the desired program as part of the Master aptitude test.

    Admissions decision 

    When considering applications for a Bachelor degree program, TUIL bases its admissions decision on the results of the assessment of formal entry requirements carried out by uni-assist; for applications to a Master degree program, it also takes into account the results of the assessment of subject-specific entry requirements and informs the applicant of its decision in writing.
