Studying at TU Darmstadt with the IB

Online application via the TUCaN portal, used for both German and foreign entrance qualifications; some applicants must also send a printed application form and documents by post within the deadline.

• For bachelor and master programmes taught in German, passing the DSH-2 German language exam is required; the page lists several accepted equivalent certificates (e.g. TestDaF, Goethe C1/C2, DSD-II).

• Applicants with a foreign entrance qualification use the same portal and the same application deadlines as applicants with a German one.
• Required documents include the school-leaving certificate and the transcript, each in the original language plus an official translation, a passport copy, and proof of language skills.
• Certification of submitted documents is not required.
• Certificates may be submitted in German or English; translations must be legalised by the embassy or consulate, or made by a sworn translator in Germany.
• Whether an applicant must first attend the Studienkolleg depends on their entrance qualification; the university recommends checking this in the anabin database.
