Students who did not obtain their bachelor’s degrees in Germany have to apply additionally via uni-assist. Please note, you have to document your education in detail. You start with the certificate from the last school you graduated from (which entitles you to begin university studies in your home country) and continue up to the current state of progress in your university studies. It is recommended to send the application documents to uni-assist 6 weeks before the application deadline. The following documents are needed:

1. Authenticated (and translated) copy of bachelor degree certification or attestation of 80% studies and transcript of records: please submit all certificates in their entirety, include the diploma certificate as well as the overview of subjects and grades. You must not omit any parts of the certificate (such as a diploma supplement) or single pages. In order to calculate your grade, uni-assist needs the grading system used by your university for your degree.
