The Department´s Representative for International Relations

General

The department is strongly committed to establishing and maintaining international relations.
Therefore, several opportunities are offered to students from foreign countries to participate in education at the department:

The following alternatives exist for studying at our department:

Enrollment for graduating studies
In this case, the goal ist to get an official German academic degree (like Bakk. Inform. or Diplom-Informatiker).
This means to move to Dresden for two to five years.
There are two subcases to distinguish:
 

Enrollment for standard German programmes
(studying Informatik, Medieninformatik, Informationssystemtechnik or Softwaretechnologie)
This kind of study usually requires proficiency in German, since most courses are held in German. A German language test has to be passed for enrollment.Move detenils about the envollment procedure see below.
 

Enrollment for international programes
(currently there is only one offer: (computational logic))
This kind of study is explicitly designed for students from other countries but is open for German students as well. All courses are held in English, so proficiency in English is required.. As a final degree, a Master of Science certificate is issued in addition to the German degree. More details about the enrollment procedure for international programmers see below.
 
 

Enrollment for non-graduating studies
(international exchange)
In this case, students from othe countries are visiting Dresden for a relatively short time (e. g. half a year or a year). Depending on the rules of the home universities, the courses done in Dresden may be recognized as official part of the study at home (e.g. using the European ECTS scheme). Good knowledge of German is recommended, but no language test is required.
 

Tuition  fees and scholarships
In Germany, university education is free,  no tuition fees exist (besides a very small contribution to student services).
However the universities usually do not offer scholarships, so external finding for living expenses, travel etc. must be found.

Application: http://www.tu-dresden.de/aaa/auslaender/bewerbung.htm

Summary:
To study at Dresden University of Technology you will need to send the following documents before the 15th of January (for summer term) or 15th of July (for winter term):

• Filled application form
• Copy of a (foreign) degree or examination which qualifies the applicant to study at an institution of higher education in Germany (=Abitur)
• If you do not have an equivalent degree of the Abitur: Assessment exam,

Direct admission to your desired course of study depends upon whether or not your school-leaving exam/high school diploma is recognized as being equivalent to the German Abitur. If your school-leaving exam/high school diploma is only partially comparable to the German Abitur, you may only begin a technical course of study after passing the so called Assessment Exam (Feststellungsprüfung). The DAAD brochure entitled Studium in Deutschland (Studying in Germany) contains the information you will need to determine if you can be directly admitted to your desired course of study or if you will first be required to pass the Assessment Exam.
• If existing: Transcript with details of previous study (which institutions of higher education attended, examinations passed, marks, certificates etc.)
• Provide proof of language facility sufficient for studying in Germany.

The following are accepted as proof of German language ability:

1. the Deutsche Sprachdiplom der Kultusministerkonferenz (Level II), or
2. the Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang ausländischer Studienbewerber DSH Exam, or
3. the Große/Kleine Sprachdiplom from the Goethe Institute, or
4. the Zentralen Oberstufenprüfung (ZOP) from the Goethe Institute
