Application

Prospective students with foreign certificates must submit their application documents for a degree programme at Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences via the ‘Arbeits- und Servicestelle für internationale Studienbewerbungen e.V.’ (uni-assist). Our university only accepts online applications via the 

Online-Portal uni-assist

Further procedure after receipt of the application:

After your application, you have the opportunity to view the current status of your application in the uni-assist online portal. Please note that it may take several weeks for uni-assist to process your application. You will be informed of the result of the review by e-mail. There are two possible results of the formal check:

1. if your documents basically meet our requirements, uni-assist will forward your application to us. We will then decide whether you can receive a study place offer and inform you about all further steps.

2 If your documents are incomplete or do not meet our requirements, your application will not be forwarded to us. You have the opportunity to submit any missing documents within the application deadline.

Important to know:

Have you gained your Abitur or Fachhochschulreife at a German school abroad?

You will then be treated the same as German applicants and do not have to go through the application procedure via uni-assist. Please inform yourself here about the application process and deadlines at the Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences

Are you from a partner university?

Graduates from our partner universities worldwide who wish to obtain a Bachelor's or Master's degree at our university should contact the International Office. 

You can usually apply via uni-assist  from mid-October for the summer semester (start date: 01.03.2024) and from mid-April for the winter semester (start date: 01.09.2024).

The following application deadlines apply:

31.12.: for degree programmes starting in the summer semester

30.06.: for degree programmes starting in the winter semester

31.05.: for the English-language Master's degree programme ‘Geomatics’ starting in the winter semester (without pre-semester) and in the summer semester (with pre-semester)

Please note:

Your documents must have been received in full by uni-assist by the specified deadlines and the processing fee must have been paid. Otherwise your application cannot be considered! We therefore strongly recommend that you apply early - at least 8 weeks before the application deadline - so that you can submit any missing documents and ask questions.

Applications for the first semester of a degree programme are usually only possible in the winter semester. The following Master's degree programmes are exceptions:

• Sustainable agricultural management
• Food and bioproduct technology
• Food Chain Environments

It is possible to start these degree programmes in both the winter and summer semesters.

Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences accepts an online-only application with simple copies (scans) of all documents. Please upload all documents to be submitted via your My-Assist account. 

The documents to be submitted include:

• Certificates of previous education (secondary school, university entrance examination if applicable, overview of subjects and grades of previous studies and degree(s))
• Language certifikate
• Programme-specific certificates:

Depending on your chosen degree programme, you may have to submit additional documents such as a letter of motivation, portfolio or proof of a pre-study internship. It is therefore essential that you check the admission requirements for your desired deegree programme pages on the respective degree programme pages under the menu item ‘Application’. 

• Country-specific certificates:

Depending on the country of origin, proof of a passed university entrance examination or an APS certificate is sometimes required. Please also note the country information from uni- assist
