Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm

Students from non-EEA countries (without a German secondary school leaving certificate or prior German bachelor's degree) who enrol from winter semester 2025/26 onward are charged tuition fees of €1,000 per semester under Bavaria's non-EU fee regime. All students additionally pay the mandatory Studierendenwerkbeitrag (student services contribution) each semester, the amount of which is not specified on the public website but covers access to student services. EU/EEA students are not subject to the non-EU tuition fee.

International applicants must hold a recognised university entrance qualification (Hochschulzugangsberechtigung). Foreign credentials are assessed individually during the online application via the anabin and DAAD databases. For German-taught programmes, a minimum of B2 German proficiency is required; accepted certificates are listed in an official PDF on the university's orientation page. Language certificates may be submitted upon enrolment at the latest. For English-taught programmes, language requirements are set by each individual programme. Master's admission typically requires a bachelor's degree equivalent. A two-semester pathway programme (Studienkolleg-equivalent) is available for STEM applicants who need additional preparation. APS certificate requirements for Indian, Chinese, and Vietnamese applicants are not explicitly stated on the THN website; applicants from these countries should confirm with the German embassy/consulate and the International Academic Services team.

Bachelor's programmes (winter semester): online application portal opens 2 May; NC-restricted programmes deadline 15 July. Bachelor's programmes (summer semester): applications open from 15 November (limited programmes, e.g. Mechanical Engineering, Design). Master's programme deadlines vary by programme — applicants should check individual programme pages. International applicants should also account for visa processing time when planning their application.

The majority of degree programmes are taught in German. The Ohm International School offers nine internationally oriented programmes taught primarily in English, including bachelor's programmes in International Business (B.A.) and International Business and Technology (B.Eng.), and master's programmes in International Finance and Economics (M.Sc.), International Marketing (M.A.), Business Administration for Professionals (MBA), Design for Digital Futures (M.A.), Intelligent & Autonomous Systems (M.Eng., from summer 2026), and Computational Mechanical Engineering (M.Sc.). A Language Center provides German-language courses and administers the DSH examination for university admission.
