As long as as you fulfill other specific requirements, you still have the chance to apply to study in a bachelor's program at TU Berlin (bachelor´s degree) without a university entrance qualification based on either your school grades or a completed university degree. Section 11 of the Berlin State Higher Education Act provides for a number of options for university entrance for prospective students who do possess a professional qualification.

The options you have depend on how you formulate your application, your professional qualifications. Some applicants are required to take an entry examination as part of the application procedure. Below you can find further information regarding admission requirements, how to apply, dates and deadlines as well as advisory services.

Please note: Underage students and applicants are capable of acting independently in all matters concerning their studies at their respective university, as long as they have reached the age of 16 (Section 9 (4) Berlin Higher Education Act).
