Applicants who did not acquire their Bachelor's Degree in the Federal
Republic of Germany have to apply twice.
a) Submit documents at uni-assist (https://my.uni-assist.de/
). uni-assist will check them and return a
preliminary inspection documentation (in German: Vorprüfungsdokumentation,
VPD), which contains information regarding an applicant's entitlement to
study in Germany. The VPD then has to be submitted to Technische
Hochschule Ingolstadt. A VPD is valid for three years.
!!! Attention: In case
your relevant pre-studies were acquired in China, India or Vietnam
you need an APS certificate in order to apply at uni-assist!!!
Deadlines for applications for
the summer term: We recommend submitting the documents to uni-assist until 5th of December as the VPD then has to be submitted at the
Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt until 15th of January at the latest. Deadlines for applications for the winter
term: We recommend submitting the documents to uni-assist until
1st of June as the VPD then has to be submitted at the Technische Hochschule
Ingolstadt until 15th of July at the latest. Application at uni-assist is possible during
the whole year, you don't have to wait for the application period to start.
b) Apply online at
Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (https://www3.primuss.de/cgi-bin/bew_anmeldung/index.pl
). The application period for the summer term (starting 15th of
March) is from 15th of November to 15th of January. The application period
for the winter term (starting 1st of October) is from 2nd of May to 15th
of July.
There you will have to upload all
the necessary documents including your VPD. You can still upload documents
within the respective periods (there will be deadlines per document in the
upload area) after you sent your application online (there is no need to send
hardcopies for an application).
The minimum qualification requirement for all master courses is the
successful completion of a Bachelor´s or Diploma degree with a total of 210
ECTS (in conformity with General Examination Regulations), or the successful
completion of an equivalent degree at a foreign university. Further
qualification requirements can be found in the respective Study and Examination
Regulations (“SPO”).
It is possible to
apply for a master’s degree with less than 210 ECTS (normally 180 ECTS);
however, proof of compensation of the missing 30 ECTS has to be provided no
later than the end of the application period by means of:
- Proof
of practical experience outside the degree course which corresponds to the
practical semester of a bachelor’s degree in terms of content and scope.
Please note that where documents are submitted to show evidence of
practical professional experience or either practical or theoretical
achievements worth 30 ECTS – in addition to a bachelor’s degree – the documents must
clearly indicate that the 30 ECTS were obtained over and above the
bachelor's degree programme. Confirmation can be provided by the university showing that the
ECTS/internship were not counted towards the first degree. The duration of
the practical professional experience gained outside the first degree
should be equivalent to 20 weeks of full-time work. Furthermore, the
experience reference must be submitted on an official letterhead together
with a description of the tasks you hold.
or - Proof of practical or theoretical studies and examinations passed at a German or foreign university in addition to the student’s first degree which corresponds in content and scope to the demands of a bachelor's degree.
