Uni-assist will check your certificates (e.g. your bachelor’s certificate) for equivalence to German educational standards; after that, the application will be forwarded to the university for evaluation with view to formal compliance to the admission requirements as per ISME's admission regulations (see the PDF here LINK), e.g. whether the fulfilment of every single admission requirement has been documented with your application; after that, the master's program selection officers will evaluate your application with view to disciplinary aspects such as the relevance of your bachelor's degree, your language proficiencies as well as its basis of documentation.

Assuming a complete application in English or German or bilingual with one of these languages, every of these three steps can take up to four weeks starting from the day of application within the application period, so at the latest 12 weeks after application your documents will have been reviewed and it may take further four weeks until the official admission or rejection letters will have been sent out.

Please note that we as master’sprogram selection officers are not involved in the central admission processes, however.

The given timeframes only apply to applications that have been submitted completely and within the application period. A complete application documents the fulfilment of every single admission requirement as per ISME's regulations; check the different options e.g. of proving your proficiency in English here LINK.

What the master's program selection officers do is that as soon as an application has been evaluated positively from a disciplinary point of view, the candidates will be informed via email; however, this information is no official statement of admission.
