What it costs
TH Rosenheim is a public Bavarian university. EU/EEA students pay no tuition fees; the only charge is a semester contribution of €97 to the student services organisation (Studierendenwerk). Non-EU international students (Drittstaaten) are subject to a tuition fee of €500 per enrolled semester, applicable from Summer Semester 2026 onward (i.e., for students enrolling from Winter Semester 2025/26). This is significantly lower than the Baden-Württemberg non-EU fee of €1,500/semester.
Admission requirements
International applicants apply through uni-assist. For winter semester, the uni-assist application window for international students opens from mid-February; for summer semester, from September. Final deadlines broadly align with 15 April - 15 July (winter) and 1 November - 15 January (summer), though individual programme deadlines vary - for example, the Advanced Industrial Engineering master has a narrow April 15-30 window. Entry qualification requirements follow standard German FH rules: a recognised school-leaving certificate equivalent to the German Hochschulreife, or a completed foreign bachelor's degree for master's programmes. Indian applicants whose prior qualification originates in India must hold a valid APS certificate (issued by the German Embassy in New Delhi) before applying; this is a national requirement for all German universities, not TH Rosenheim-specific. Chinese and Vietnamese applicants are also subject to the APS requirement. Language requirements vary by programme: German-taught programmes generally require at least B2 German (TestDaF, DSH, or equivalent); English-taught programmes require evidence of English proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent). Students should verify the exact requirement on the individual programme page.
Application deadlines
Winter Semester (October start): international applicants via uni-assist from approximately 15 February; general deadline 15 July. Summer Semester (March/April start): international applicants via uni-assist from approximately 1 September; general deadline 15 January. Individual programmes may have earlier or narrower windows - verify per programme on the TH Rosenheim admissions page.
How international applicants apply
Used for applicants with foreign school-leaving certificates: they apply via uni-assist (programme-specific windows, e.g. from September 1 or May 1 to November 30). Domestic-qualification applicants use the TH Rosenheim Bewerbungsportal directly (typically Nov 1 - Jan 15 for winter).
Languages of instruction
The majority of programmes are taught in German. TH Rosenheim offers 11 English-taught degree programmes (6 bachelor's, 5 master's) across business and STEM disciplines. Prospective international students should check the English-taught programme listing on the official site for current availability.
Entry requirements, intake dates and language levels differ for every degree.
