Bergische Universität Wuppertal

International applicants without a German university entrance qualification apply through uni-assist and must hold a recognised entry qualification (Hochschulzugangsberechtigung). For German-taught programmes, applicants must prove German language skills at least at level DSH-2 (or equivalent TestDaF 4x4 / Goethe C2 / telc C1 Hochschule); the Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy specialisation requires C2. The official admission page does not state an APS certificate requirement; however, applicants from India, China and Vietnam should note that an APS certificate is generally mandatory for the German student visa and should verify the current requirement with uni-assist and the German mission.

General uni-assist windows: winter semester 15 May - 15 July, summer semester 15 November - 15 January; some faculties/programmes differ (e.g. Computer Simulation in Science M.Sc.: uni-assist 15 November - 31 March).

uni-assist mandatory (document evaluation route): all 'Bildungsauslaender' - applicants holding a foreign higher-education entrance qualification or Studienkolleg graduation - must apply online via www.uni-assist.de (My assist) at EUR 75 for the first application plus EUR 30 per additional choice, max three choices; they cannot use Wuppertal's own applicant portal. Exceptions apply directly through the university, e.g. Master Architecture aptitude procedure, psychology master extra portals, internal programme changers. Standard uni-assist windows: winter semester 15 May - 15 Jul, summer semester 15 Nov - 15 Jan.

Most degree programmes are taught in German. German-taught programmes require proof of German at level DSH-2 (or equivalent: TestDaF level 4 in all four parts, Goethe-Zertifikat C2, or telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule). The university's Language Learning Institute offers German classes at all levels, including preparatory courses for degree study.
