International applicants apply via uni-assist. For bachelor's/Diplom entry, German B1 is the minimum at application stage; DSH-2 or equivalent (TestDaF TDN 4, Goethe C1, telc C1 Hochschule) is required before enrolment in German-taught programmes. English-taught master's programmes require proof of English proficiency (specific band scores must be confirmed per programme). APS certificate is mandatory for applicants whose prior qualification is from India (since 1 November 2022), China (Beijing Academic Evaluation Centre), or Vietnam (Hanoi Academic Evaluation Centre) - required for the student visa application; doctoral students and scholarship holders may be exempt in specific cases. Applicants who cannot directly qualify for a degree programme may enrol in the university's own T-Kurs Studienkolleg, which requires German B1 and conditional admission via uni-assist; the programme ends with the Feststellungsprüfung.
