Entrance Exam

The Aufnahmetest is mandatory for every applicant: there is no exemption, and its results form the ranking used to allocate the limited places. All courses sit a German C-Test (a 75-gap complementary test, 30 min); the T-, M- and W-Kurs add a Mathematics test (45 min), while the G-Kurs takes a chart-evaluation test instead. The full test lasts about 90 minutes and is held once a year in late August at the Freie Universität Berlin (Dahlem), on a separate day for each course. It may be repeated once. Applications run 1 June – 15 July for the winter semester only (no summer intake) and go exclusively through uni-assist.
