Application procedure for international applicants.

Hochschule Darmstadt
c/o uni-assist e. V.

- Your school leaving certificate. Normally a completed bachelor’s degree is sufficient; however, there are many cases where a secondary school certificate will still play an important role in the evaluation of your entitlement to study in Germany. It is impossible to tell in advance if your secondary school certificate will be required, this can only be determined during the application process. If the secondary school certificate is missing from your application, your application will be rejected.
- Your bachelor’s degree in a related subject from a recognized university. 'Recognized' means that the university must be accredited according to the laws and regulations of the country in which it is based.
- The transcript of records/diploma supplement for all study years (precondition is a full-time study program).
- Copy of your passport.
Additional documents to submit:
- A detailed curriculum vitae (table form) in English.
