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 at the Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt.
- !!! 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 at 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 at 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.

The requirements of the course are
- Proof of a successful degree from a German university in the field of engineering, process engineering or similar programmes comprising at least 210 ECTS credits or an equivalent course load, or an equivalent successful domestic or foreign degree,

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.
