2026 dMAT Cycle at a Glance

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 is no late registration, so missing 15 September 2026 pushes you to the next sitting, planned for the first quarter of 2027.
• Certificates land on 12 October 2026, which is the earliest date you can 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 26 September and 12 October in your calendar today, and build your university deadlines around the 12 October certificate date, not the exam date.
