Application Information for non-EU/EEA Nationals

The processing and service center for international student applications, uni-assist, checks on behalf of TU Dortmund University whether foreign educational certificates correspond to the level of a German university entrance qualification (Hochschulzugangsberechtigung, HZB) and then calculates the HZB grade.

In preparation for an application via the processing and service center for international student applications,uni-assist, prospective students have to register in the online portal "My assist". After successful registration, online applications can be created and submitted for any desired degree program. All documents which are relevant for the application procedures must be uploaded to the application. It is not necessary to send these documents by post.

How do I create my My assist account? How can I submit my application online? The uni-assist video tutorial will give you a good overview!
