Selection procedure
Source
“All our applicants are evaluated on a competitive basis, considering the overall impression as well as the academic grades … Moreover, it depends on the number of applicants for that particular year”

www.academy.rwth-aachen.de/en/programs/masters-degree-programs/your-way-to-us · checked 14 November 2026

RWTH International Academy runs a competitive selection on the whole application — grades, home university, work experience, extra-curricular activities, references and statement of purpose — and says the outcome also depends on how many people apply that year. No fixed number of places and no grade cut-off is published, so this is recorded as a selection procedure rather than as restricted places. RWTH's own key-info block records the programme as "Admission to First Semester Open (No NC)", i.e. there is no numerus clausus and no fixed number of places — which is why this is a selection procedure rather than restricted places.

Rules for applicants from India, Pakistan and Nigeria

English test waiver

“Periodontology M.Sc.**3 English - § 3 Abs. 9 ÜPO … For Courses of study marked with 3 sufficient fluency in English can be proved by submission of a Bachelor's thesis or Seminar paper written in English. It's necessary to apply for a review at the Examination Board.”
“All applicants who have a school leaving qualification or first degree in English that was issued by an institution in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or the US are exempt from the English language certificate requirement” page

www.rwth-aachen.de/global/show_document.asp?id=aaaaaaaaabpixuo · checked 14 November 2026

RWTH International Academy, which runs this programme, publishes a much narrower exemption that reaches none of the three countries; the central language table is the page that opens the thesis route for Periodontology. RWTH's central language table marks this programme with footnote 3, so an applicant whose bachelor's thesis or a seminar paper was written in English can ask the examination board to accept that instead of a language test. The footnote names no country: India, Nigeria and Pakistan are listed because degrees there are commonly taught and examined in English, so applicants from all three can use the route. It is not a Medium-of-Instruction letter, and it needs an application to the examination board.

Rules that name these countries
  • India: Applicants from India must include an APS certificate with their master's application, which RWTH International Academy makes mandatory from the 2027/28 winter semester.
    Source
    “Attention: Starting with the winter semester 2027/28 international applicants from China, India and Vietnam must include an APS certificate with their master's applications! … The APS certificate is a mandatory application requirement for students from India, China, and Vietnam who want to pursue higher education in Germany”

    www.academy.rwth-aachen.de/en/programs/masters-degree-programs/your-way-to-us · checked 14 November 2026

    RWTH's central master's application page for international applicants lists the required documents without mentioning the APS, so this requirement is published by the Academy for its own master's programmes; the DAAD entries of some Academy programmes repeat it, those of Applied Health Informatics and Periodontology do not.

The rules for your country across all universities, and the visa rules on English tests, are on the India, Pakistan and Nigeria pages.
