The admission committee requires certified copies of the following documents in order to be able to verify your application:

  1. Preliminary review documentation (VPD) by uni-assist.
  2. School leaving certificate (or an equivalent degree of qualification for access to German universities).
  3. Transcript of Records.
  4. Bachelor of Science in a biomedical field, psychology, mathematics or computer sciences. The degree certificate can be handed in later.

Applicants with a foreign school and university degree also need to provide certified translations of these degrees unless they exist in German or English.

Additionally, please hand in the following documents:

  1. Letter of motivation.
  2. CV,
  3. Proof of English language skills (see language requirements).

Please note: Due to the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 epidemic applicants will only be able to upload documents online and will also be able to submit unauthenticated documents.

The university personnel in charge of the report evaluation will check whether the document has features that suggest a suspicion of falsification, even if it is a simple copy. Certificates and diplomas with digital verification options will continue to be verified individually, especially in cases of suspected forgery and in random samples without reason. For up-to-date information about the Master application process, consult the respective page by the international office.

Important: All documents that are decisive for formal admission must still be submitted on time. It is not possible to omit e.g. required language certificatеs.
