procedures will be allocated using a lottery system. Applications for the lottery are available at the Campus
Center or on the International Admissions website (see page 1). The application must be submitted to the
International Admissions Office of the TU Berlin with a full CV containing all previous education. A maximum of
two applications to the lottery can be submitted (for a first and a second course of study choice). Only those

caused by supplying a false address.
2.7 Attempts to Defraud

to you at the end of the safe keeping period.
3.
Translation and Legalisation
3.1 Translation of International Certificates and Documents
An official translation must be submitted with the originals if these were not drawn up in German, English or
French.
•
Translations from Germany must be translated by a translator who is certified in Germany.
List of certified translators in Berlin: www.berlin.de/sen/justiz/gerichte/lg
•
•
Translations from other EU countries must be translated by a translator who is certified in the respective
EU-country or by a EU authority that can officially seal the document, or be verified by the German
diplomatic representation in the respective country or endorsed with an apostille.
Translations from other countries must be verified by the German diplomatic representation in the
respective country or endorsed with an apostille.
Information about the Apostille:
www.hcch.net/index_en.php
3.2 Legalisation / Authentication of International Certificates and Documents
The TU Berlin accepts copies of originals that are legalised or authenticated by the TU Berlin Coordination
Office. The TU Berlin retains the right to demand the originals only in doubtful cases.
Please do not send us original certificates or passports.
Exceptions:
Verification of health insurance and payment slips must always be provided as originals at enrolment.
3.2.1 TUB – Confirmation “Original hat vorgelegen“
The Coordination Office (room H 2129) offers a special free of charge service, which confirms that original
certificates and documents were presented by stamping “Original hat vorgelegen (“original was presented”) on
certificates and documents for an application at the TU Berlin. This is not a legalisation. Applicants to other
universities should obtain information on application requirements at the respective university.
3.2.2 Legalisation
•
The TU Berlin Coordination Office (H 2129) can only legalise certificates and documents that were drawn
up by the TU Berlin.
•
Every authority in Germany that bears an official seal can “legalise”. These are German authorities such as
“Bürgerämter” (Citizens’ Offices dealing with registration and income tax), notaries, churches incorporated
under public law. Legalisations by other EU authorities and notaries in other EU-countries, that bear an
official seal are also recognised.
•
Legalisations by lawyers, societies, auditors, and translators are not recognised.
•
Legalisations are generally liable to costs.
What requirements must a legalisation fulfill?
A legalisation must at least have:
•
•
•
An endorsement confirming that the copy corresponds to the original (Attestation Clause),
The signature of the endorsing person
The imprint of an official stamp. The official stamp will generally include an emblem, (a simple text stamp
will not suffice).
If the copy is made up of more than one page proof must be provided that each page stems from the same
document. It is sufficient if one page is endorsed with the seal, provided that all pages are folded in the top
11
corner for example and are stapled and sealed in that setting, so that a part of the official seal is visible on each
page.
Each page can also be legalised individually. Please take into account that in this case each page must
indicate your name. Should this not be the case then your name and reference to the type of document must be
specifically included in the endorsement.
If both sides of the page of a copy contain relevant information then the endorsement must specifically refer to
both sides (e.g. It is herewith certified that both sides of the copy correspond to the original). Should this not be
the case then each side must be individually endorsed.
If the original bears an embossed seal it is likely that it will not be visible on the copy. The endorsed copy must
then declare that there was an embossed seal by the issuing authority on the original document / certificate.

Entry Requirements
4.1 Recognition of Higher Education Qualifications
In Berlin the Senate Office for Education, Science and Research (Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Wissenschaft
und Forschung) is responsible for evaluating international certificates regarding an application for universities in
Germany and for resolving doubtful cases.
Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Forschung,
Abteilung II C 5 (Room 1042)
Beuthstr. 6 - 8, D - 10117 Berlin-Mitte (underground station Spittelmarkt)
Consultation: Mon and Tue 9am – 12pm
Thu 4pm – 6pm
℡ (030) 9026-7
4.2 Higher Education Qualification (HZB) / Country Specific Requirements
International certificates and other documents are assessed in accordance with the assessment guidelines of
the ‘Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen’ (Central Office for Foreign Education). Whether you have
an eligible higher education qualification (direct or indirect) depends on whether your higher education
qualification is of the same standard as the German Abitur or only an approximate comparison.
a) Indirect Higher Education Qualification (HZB) via assessment exam / university preparation center
(Studienkolleg)
This means that an examination to assess the eligibility of international applicants to study at a German
university (“Feststellungsprüfung”) must be sat (see point 4.5 to 4.7).
b) Direct Higher Education Qualification (HZB)
This means that only a German language examination to qualify for university (DSH) or an equivalent may be
required (see point 4.4).
The following website can help you determine whether you are eligible for study at the TU Berlin:
Anabin on the Internet:

You can also find information on higher education qualifications on:
www.daad.de/deutschland/de/2.3.1.html
www.inobis.de
12
Please contact the respective authority responsible for recognising higher education qualifications (Berlin
Senate Office for Education, Science and Research; see point 4.1) if you cannot find clear information on
higher education qualifications through the country information. Please take into account that the assessment
of your certificates and documents can take several weeks.
The official recognition of the higher education qualification or proof of such qualification – as described in
Anabin – must be provided with all the other application documents by the application deadline or your
application will not be processed. Please find out if your certificates and documents are eligible for your choice
of study in time.
4.3 Application for a Master Programme
Applicants for a master’s degree programme have to verify a first university degree qualifying for professional

Student Visa / Residence Permit
7.1 Procedures before Entering the Country
International applicants must apply for a student visa or a student applicant visa from the German Consulate or
Embassy in their country before entering Germany. An applicant visa can be converted into a student residence
permit upon receiving admission to university. A tourist visa does not get converted into a student residence
permit. Enrolment at the Technische Universität Berlin is not possible without a student residence
permit.
Information can also be obtained from the German Academic Exchange Service website:
www.daad.de/deutschland/de/2.3.3.html
Applicants who need to apply via uni-assist (see point 1.1) will receive final notification on their application from
them. If the application is complete or if only the proof of German proficiency is missing, then a student visa can
be applied for with that notification.
Applicants who need to apply directly at the TU Berlin (see point 1.2) who do not yet have a student visa or
student applicant visa can obtain a confirmation of application (Bewerberbestätigung) to apply for a student
visa if their application is provided to the TU Berlin in full.
Processing times for granting a visa generally requires several weeks. Students should therefore find out about
the current entry requirements at the German immigration authority on time.
Applicants from Andorra, Australia, El Salvador, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Canada, Monaco, New Zealand,,
Republic of Korea, San Marino und the USA can apply for a residence permit after entering the country at the
Foreigner Registration Office in Berlin (see below). The student residence permit, must however be provided at
enrolment. (This excludes those who will be registered by the International Office as part of an exchange
programme).
Residence permits for EU-citizens were abolished in 2005. Now EU-citizens must only register at a registration
office that will issue a written confirmation on right of residence. Citizens from Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway
and Switzerland also do not need a residence permit.
