In what order should I sequence my application to TU Berlin in 2027 as an Indian student?
Sequence your TU Berlin application like this: confirm restricted or open admission, get your APS certificate, complete the uni-assist preliminary review (usually required), apply on the TU Berlin portal within the deadline, add language proof, then wait for the decision and enroll separately.
Order matters for Indian applicants at TU Berlin because you have extra steps, APS and, for some master's applicants, dMAT, that EU applicants do not face. Follow the sequence below and you will lose less time on deadlines.
Step-by-Step Sequence
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Shortlist your program and confirm restricted (NC) or open (non-NC) status |
| 2 | Get your APS certificate |
| 3 | Submit documents via uni-assist for a preliminary review (VPD), which is generally required for international qualifications |
| 4 | Apply on the TU Berlin portal within the deadline |
| 5 | Submit language proof (English or German) with your application |
| 6 | Wait for the decision, then complete enrollment separately |
Language Proof and Core Documents
| Track | Requirement | Accepted proof |
|---|---|---|
| English-taught Master's | Typically CEFR B2 or higher, varies by program | IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Cambridge |
| German-taught programs (UG and PG) | C1 level | Recognised proofs such as TestDaF, DSH, Goethe-Zertifikat, telc (check the TU Berlin list) |
| Studienkolleg entrance | German and Maths test | The university's own entrance exam |
- Proof of your previous qualification, with transcripts
- APS certificate covering all semesters of your completed degree
- Language proof as it applies to your program
- A valid passport-style ID document
- Any program-specific documents, uploaded as certified PDF copies
My Advice
Work backwards from the application deadline and book your APS slot first, since other steps depend on it. Check whether your program is restricted or open before anything else, and confirm the document list on the TU Berlin website for your specific program.
