   Getting in

   International applicants should check the official website for the application route, entry requirements, document list, and any German-language or recognition requirements. Because only general institutional details are available, the admissions office is the place to confirm how a foreign qualification is assessed and whether there are programme-specific conditions.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Germany will still depend on the city, housing, transport, food, and personal spending.
