## Admission requirements

- Prior degree: Bachelor's in mechatronics, mechanical engineering or electrical engineering or a related field
- Minimum grade: not confirmed
- Also required: Eignungsverfahren (aptitude assessment) applies. Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission - applicants are ranked. Check TUMonline for current procedure details. An optional eight-week internship can be credited (Annex 2 of the FPSO). uni-assist VPD (Vorprüfungsdokumentation) required for applicants with a non-German bachelor's degree; APS certificate required for applicants from China, India and Vietnam.

## Application deadlines

- All applicants, winter semester: 2026-05-31 (PASSED as of the last site build; the window usually repeats next cycle). Application window closes 31 May annually via TUMonline. TUM strongly encourages non-EU applicants to apply by 15 March so there is time for visa processing; missing documents such as the uni-assist VPD can follow until the final deadline.
