What This Means For Your Applications
The exam is run by g.a.s.t. through the official d-mat.de portal, not through a walk in or on demand slot.
There was no late registration, so missing 15 September 2026 pushed you to the next exams, now set for 16 January 2027 and 13 March 2027.
Certificates were published on 12 October 2026, which was the earliest date you could submit a completed dMAT result with a university application.
My Advice
Register the moment the window opens on 29 June 2026 rather than waiting until closer to the deadline, since a slot or a technical hiccup near the cutoff can cost you the whole cycle. Put 16 January 2027 and 13 March 2027 in your calendar today, and build your university deadlines around your certificate date, not the exam date.
