Taught at the CRTD (Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden), one of the world's leading regenerative-medicine centres, within the CMCB. This programme is not offered at any other TU9 university — TU Dresden's CMCB/CRTD faculty is one of the few in Germany to offer regenerative biology and medicine at Master's level. As a University of Excellence, TU Dresden offers students direct access to funded research clusters and interdisciplinary research environments across its 14 faculties.

- Also required
- Eignungsverfahren (aptitude assessment). TU Dresden's two-step application is the most complex on this platform: first register for the programme's aptitude assessment on its own portal to receive a submission ID, then apply via uni-assist, entering that ID and uploading the confirmation email. Miss either half and the application is incomplete. Aptitude registration runs through the CMCB databank.
Deadlines & timeline
| Who | Intake | Deadline | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-EU applicants | Winter semester | Non-EU nationals with a non-German degree apply 1 April – 31 May for a winter start — six weeks before the EU window. TU Dresden publishes no single university-wide deadline: each programme sets its own window in SINS, and NC, open-admission and aptitude-assessment programmes differ. Treat this as the framework date and check SINS for this programme. | |
| EU / German-degree applicants | Winter semester | EU nationals with a non-German degree apply 1 April – 15 July. Holders of a German degree apply 1 June – 15 July, directly via the selma portal rather than uni-assist. |
Fees & funding
- Tuition
- €0 per semester
- Semester contribution
- €361
- Semester ticket
- included (Deutschland-Semesterticket)
€0 tuition for all students, including non-EU — Saxony levies no general tuition; SächsHSG Art. 13 permits fees only for second degrees, long-term study and continuing education, none of which applies to a standard consecutive master's. Semester contribution €361.00 for WS 2026/27, confirmed to the component by the TU Dresden StuRa (≈€234 Deutschlandsemesterticket + €7.38 MOBIbike + ≈€14 StuRa + ≈€105 Studentenwerk Dresden). The ticket is the bundled, digital nationwide Deutschlandsemesterticket — it covers regional transport across Germany, including Dresden's DVB trams and buses and the wider VVO regional network, but not ICE/IC/EC; bikes, dogs and guests need a paid VVO add-on, and the ticket is refundable if you study abroad or intern outside the VVO area. The €7.38 MOBIbike share gives 30 free minutes per rental on nextbike/MOBIbike nationwide. Note the €361 is a WS 2026/27 increase driven by the Deutschlandticket price rise (€58→€63/month on 1 January 2026) — aggregators quoting €277–300 are stale. Non-EU applicants with a non-German degree apply through uni-assist AND, for most programmes, a separate programme-specific aptitude portal linked by a submission ID.
Scholarships are listed per university: see TU Dresden scholarships.
