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 Master entrance qualification (Masterzugangs­berechtigung, MZB) and then calculates the MZB grade.
