Applying with a non-German degree
Starting in the summer semester of 2026, applicants with non-German degrees must apply via uni-assist in accordance with the so-called “VPD procedure” (VPD = Vorprüfungsdokumentation, or preliminary review documentation). For information on the application process please see the following website: https://www.uni-assist.de/en/how-to-apply/plan-your-application/vpd/. Please apply for the VPD as early as possible. Processing usually takes 4 to 6 weeks, but can take up to 8 weeks during peak periods.
