TU Braunschweig Acceptance Rate: Is There an Official Number?
The TU Braunschweig acceptance rate is not published: the university’s application pages and student statistics give deadlines, requirements and enrolment counts, but no overall percentage. What the statistics do show is 15,632 students in WS 2024/25, about 21% of them international.
So any single TU Braunschweig acceptance rate you see online is a third-party estimate, not university data. Our guide to the TU Berlin acceptance rate explains the same problem at another German technical university.

Counselor insight: Students ask "what percentage gets in?" as if admission were one lottery. TU Braunschweig admits by program, so the useful question is which criteria your program uses and whether you meet them.
Why Do TU Braunschweig Acceptance Rate Figures Range from 30% to 51%?
Third-party websites use different, unstated methods, and none of them is university-verified. That is why this article does not name or link them as evidence.
| Type of figure online | What you see | Why it is shaky | How to use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single institution-wide percentage | 45% or 51% (some pages show both) | Method and year unstated; mixes Bachelor's and Master's | Do not treat it as your odds |
| Percentage range | 40 to 49%, or 30 to 50% | No year, no program | Rough sense of selectivity only |
| program-level estimate | Around 30 to 45% for restricted Master's, above 70% for open ones | Labelled as estimates, not university data | Direction only |
| "No official record" | Some pages say so | Matches the university's own pages | The most accurate statement |
Counselor insight: A wide range is itself the answer. Plan for a competitive program and a backup, instead of anchoring on 51%. Our TU Darmstadt and University of Hamburg acceptance-rate guides follow the same logic.
How Does TU Braunschweig Admission Work Instead of an Acceptance Rate?
What is the difference between restricted and open programs?
Each program page on the degree programs list states whether admission is restricted or free. Architecture (Bachelor) is restricted, and Artificial Intelligence for Molecular Sciences (Master) is restricted with special admission requirements. In restricted programs, applicants compete for a limited number of places. In open programs, meeting the requirements is the main hurdle.
How does data science selection work?
The DAAD listing shows a local admission restriction and a selection interview, and the program page asks for at least 25 ECTS credits in basic mathematics. English at C1 level is required, though DAAD also lists an English-only degree of at least two years as an alternative proof. Confirm what the university accepts for your Indian degree.
What does a conditional acceptance mean?
The university says an acceptance can be unconditional or conditional. With a conditional acceptance you must make up certain modules in the first two semesters. The letter is not valid for a later semester. Master's decisions arrive shortly after the deadline, while unrestricted Bachelor's letters usually come 4 to 6 weeks after it.
Counselor insight: Read the program's admission regulations before you read any percentage. For competitive options, our TUM acceptance rate guide shows how program-level selection plays out.
Which Programs Drive Demand Behind the TU Braunschweig Acceptance Rate?
These are enrolled students in WS 2024/25, not applications or offers. They show where international students concentrate, not your odds.
| Master's program | Students | International | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elektromobilität | 358 | 324 | 91% |
| Data Science | 106 | 96 | 91% |
| Computational Sciences in Engineering | 116 | 104 | 90% |
| Elektrotechnik | 226 | 114 | 50% |
| Fahrzeugtechnik und mobile Systeme | 164 | 76 | 46% |
| Maschinenbau | 360 | 157 | 44% |
| Informatik | 214 | 36 | 17% |
Counselor insight: A high international share shows a program is built for an international cohort. It says nothing about how hard entry is. For other engineering options, see our top engineering universities in Germany guide.
Requirements and Costs Beyond the TU Braunschweig Acceptance Rate (WS 2027/28)
A complete file matters more than any TU Braunschweig acceptance rate estimate, so start with the requirements and costs for Indian applicants.
| Item | What the university says | India-specific detail |
|---|---|---|
| Bachelor's degree | Same or closely related subject; extra qualifications may be required | Map your BTech or BSc subjects to the program page; Data Science also wants 25 ECTS in basic mathematics |
| English proof | Required for English-taught Master's; Data Science needs C1 | Ask the program coordinator how your Indian degree or test score is treated |
| Transcripts, certificates, CV | A personal checklist appears at the end of the online application | Add translations if documents are not in English or German |
| APS certificate | Not stated on the university page | Rs.18,000; confirm on aps-india.de |
| Assessment fee receipt | Rs.8,131 (€75), paid once | Attach proof of payment to each application |
| Upload | One complete PDF through the online link; nothing by post | Check file size and order before submitting |
The assessment fee is paid once, even if you apply to several programs. Exemptions include holders of a national German scholarship such as DAAD, and applicants who already paid for a previous TU Braunschweig application (give the prior application number).
After admission, the semester contribution for WS 2026/27 is Rs.51,224 (€472.50): Rs.16,262 (€150) for student services, Rs.26,831 (€247.50) for the student body including the Deutschland Semester Ticket, and Rs.8,131 (€75) for administration. Two semesters come to Rs.1,02,447 (€945). The WS 2027/28 amount is not published yet. General tuition was abolished in Lower Saxony from WS 2014/15, although long-term fees can apply later.
For your visa, the German Mission India checklist currently asks for a first-year blocked account of Rs.12,90,513 (€11,904), with withdrawals capped at Rs.1,07,543 (€992) a month. Our Germany student visa guide and cost of an MS in Germany cover the full budget.
Exchange rate used: Rs.108.41 per Euro. Verify the current rate before finalising your budget.
Counselor insight: Applying to two TU Braunschweig programs costs one assessment fee, not two. A related second-choice program at the same university costs you almost nothing extra.
What If the TU Braunschweig Acceptance Rate Goes Against You?
- Missed the 15 March window: Most Master's programs have an additional summer intake, and non-EU applicants to English or bilingual Master's apply from 1 August to 15 September. Check whether your program starts in summer.
- Rejected from a restricted program: Apply to a related open program next cycle. The assessment fee you already paid is waived if you give your prior application number. Our list of German universities with high acceptance rates gives wider backups.
- Conditional acceptance: Note the modules you must make up in the first two semesters, and plan your timetable around them.
- English proof below the requirement: Retake the test before the window opens, since Data Science asks for C1.
- German proof missing: For German-taught programs, enrolment is not possible without the certificate.
- APS delay: Confirm timing on aps-india.de and start well before January.
- Late semester payment after enrolment: Re-registration is due by 1 August for winter. A reminder carries a Rs.1,626 (€15) charge, and unpaid fees can lead to de-registration.
Counselor insight: Keep every acceptance, application number and payment receipt in one folder. When something stalls, the first request from any office is that reference.
3 Takeaways on TU Braunschweig Acceptance Rate
The TU Braunschweig acceptance rate is a missing number, so these three actions matter more.
- Treat every percentage as an estimate and judge each program by its official criteria and whether it is restricted.
- Submit English-taught Master's applications by 15 March 2027 with the Rs.8,131 (€75) assessment fee and your APS certificate ready.
- Budget Rs.51,224 (€472.50) for the semester contribution and plan the Rs.12,90,513 (€11,904) blocked account before the visa stage.

Frequently Asked Questions About TU Braunschweig Acceptance Rate
-
What is the TU Braunschweig acceptance rate?
TU Braunschweig does not publish an official acceptance rate. Third-party websites quote figures between about 30% and 51%, but none is verified by the university. Admission depends on your program: some are restricted, with limited places, while others are open to anyone meeting the requirements. Check your program's admission criteria instead of relying on one percentage.
-
Can I reapply if TU Braunschweig rejects me?
You can reapply in a later application window. An acceptance letter is not valid for a later semester, so a new application is needed. If you already paid the Rs.8,131 (€75) assessment fee, you are exempt on a new application when you give your prior application number.
-
Is TU Braunschweig free for Indian students?
There is no tuition for regular programs, since Lower Saxony abolished general tuition fees from WS 2014/15. You still pay a semester contribution of Rs.51,224 (€472.50) for WS 2026/27 and living costs. Long-term fees can apply if you far exceed the standard study period.
-
What happens if I get a conditional acceptance?
You can still start, but you must make up specific modules during your first two semesters. Read the conditions in your letter, ask the program office how the extra modules fit your timetable, and plan the workload early. The letter applies only to the semester you applied for, so do not defer without checking.
-
How much does it cost to apply to TU Braunschweig in INR?
The assessment fee is Rs.8,131 (€75), paid once even for several programs. You may also need an APS certificate at Rs.18,000 and certified translations. After admission, the semester contribution is Rs.51,224 (€472.50) for WS 2026/27, so budget for that at enrolment.
-
When should I apply for WS 2027/28?
Non-EU applicants to English-language and bilingual Master's programs apply from 1 February to 15 March. Other programs use 1 June to 15 July. These dates come from the current application page, so recheck them for 2027 before you plan your documents.
-
Is the TU Braunschweig acceptance rate low for data science?
The Data Science Master's has no published acceptance rate, but it is admission-restricted, so places are limited. It involves a selection interview, English at C1, and at least 25 ECTS in basic mathematics. If you meet those criteria, apply, and add a related program as a backup.
-
Is the TU Braunschweig acceptance rate lower for Indian students?
The university publishes no separate rate for Indian applicants. The same program criteria apply, so the difference lies in your documents, such as proof of English and, for Indian applicants, an APS certificate. A complete, well-timed application matters more than your nationality.
-
Why do websites show different TU Braunschweig acceptance rate numbers?
Each site uses its own unstated method and year, and some mix Bachelor's and Master's data. Because the university publishes no overall figure, every number is an estimate. Treat a TU Braunschweig acceptance rate quoted without a method, a year and a program as a rough guide, not a prediction of your result.
