Application with foreign qualifications


Online application via uni-assist

Applicants with foreign educational qualifications need to apply via uni-assist.

As a joint institution of German universities, uni-assist carries out an expert examination of all admission requirements, for which it charges a fee. Applicants who start studying at Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences can apply to the university for a refund of the uni-assist fee.

It can take up to six weeks for uni-assist to check your application documents. Please apply in due time!

Applications for the winter semester are possible from May onwards. You can apply for the summer semester from November on.

After Application

Visa

  • Nationals of EU member states do not need a visa to study in Germany.
  • Nationals of non-EU states can find the current visa requirements on the website of the German Federal Foreign Office.

An enrolment certificate is needed for the visa appointment.
In some countries it can take a very long time to get an appointment at the German embassy. Therefore, it is recommended to book a visa appointment as early as possible, even if the applicant has not received the enrolment certificate yet. However, it is important to bring the enrolment certificate to the visa appointment.

Nationals of non-EU states must demonstrate, when applying for a visa, that they have sufficient financial means (currently €861 per month) for the first year of their studies.

Notice of admission

Applications for programmes with no admission restrictions are processed continuously. Notices of admission will be sent by the university via the university’s Onlinecampus portal.

For programmes with an aptitude test, applicants are informed of the result in the university’s Onlinecampus portal after the department has evaluated the test.

Enrolment

As soon as you have received a Letter of Acceptance, please reply to the acceptance of your place of study:

  1. Submit a paper Application for Admission (by post or in person).
  2. Submit any missing officially certified copy of your documents (by post or in person).
  3. Transfer the semester fee.

Only then the enrolment is completed.

The enrolment certificate and the student ID card will then be sent by post (within Germany) or by e-mail (outside Germany).

After that, it is possible to apply for a refund of the uni-assist fee.
