The only bachelor's programme TU Berlin lists among its German/English offerings. The regulation says the teaching and examination language of each compulsory elective and elective module is given in its module description and that English is needed to follow the literature; the programme page asks for "Solid English skills for understanding course content and academic literature". German is the admission language. No page gives a sequence or a share, so the value is a schema compromise.

Admission

What you need to apply

School certificate
An international school-leaving certificate that anabin rates as giving direct access ("Direkter Zugang"), confirmed by a uni-assist VPD; otherwise the Feststellungsprüfung at a Studienkolleg first. German at DSH-2 level is additionally required.
Source
“Please check anabin whether your university entrance qualification certificate entitle you to study directly or only to attend a Preparatory School in Germany. … Direct university entrance qualification anabin valuation: "Direkter Zugang" (direct admission) "für alle Fächer" (all subjects) or "fachorientiert" (subject-specific) You can apply for direct admission to a bachelor's program.”
“If your foreign educational certificates according to anabin permit direct admission, you can apply for a bachelor's program with the preliminary review documentation ("VPD") from uni-assist … In addition, you need a proof of German language skills at least at level DSH-2.” page

www.tu.berlin/en/studierendensekretariat/bachelors-application-enrollment/prospective-students-with-an-international-higher-education-entrance-qualification/admission-requirements · checked 14 November 2026

No rule naming India, Nigeria or Pakistan is published: TU Berlin refers applicants to anabin and to uni-assist's country-by-country information, and says it does no prior checks itself. Indian applicants must add an APS certificate to the uni-assist documents. A Feststellungsprüfung certificate only opens the bachelor's programmes that match its focus course (T for technical/scientific, W for social and economic sciences), and the new overall grade is the average of the foreign certificate and the assessment test.

Subject requirements
Not stated by the university
2 pages checked, 8 Nov 2026

No school subject or grade is required. The programme page lists only expectations: "Interest in economics Curiosity for logical thinking, abstraction, analysis, and creative problem-solving Affinity for mathematics Strong communication skills Solid English skills for understanding course content and academic literature".

Foundation or preparatory course
TU Berlin's own Preparatory School (Studienkolleg) runs the T and W focus courses and the Feststellungsprüfung for applicants whose certificate does not give direct access; a Propädeutikum (precourse) teaches technical German to applicants who do have direct access.
Source
“TU Berlin runs its own preparatory school”
“The Preparatory School also offers a Propädeutikum or precourse. This provides technical German classes for students whose non-German qualifications entitle them to study directly at a university in Germany.” page

www.tu.berlin/en/studying/applying-and-enrolling/requirements-for-admission-to-a-degree-program · checked 8 November 2026

This is an economics/informatics programme, so the W focus course is the matching one. Admission to the Preparatory School needs German B2 plus its own entrance test; the external Feststellungsprüfung needs German C1 and is charged a fee. Application deadlines differ from the degree deadlines (1 May to 16 August for a winter start).

English
No English certificate is required for admission; the programme page asks for "Solid English skills for understanding course content and academic literature" and the regulation says English is needed to follow the literature. German at DSH-2 level is the language requirement.

Unlike the master's programmes this bachelor's sets no CEFR level and no test score for English: the admission language requirement is German. TU Berlin's central English certificate table covers master's programmes.

German
When applying: German at DSH-2 level or an equivalent certificate from TU Berlin's accepted list. During studies: None beyond the admission requirement

German is a hard admission requirement for every TU Berlin bachelor's programme, including this one, even though part of the teaching is in English. Applicants who do not yet have the level can apply for the Preparatory School's Propädeutikum.

Selection
Restricted admission (NC). Non-EU applicants with an international school certificate are ranked in the international advance quota on average grade alone. In the main quota, after the advance quotas of at most 20% are deducted, places go 50% on average grade and 50% on waiting time. Places still unallocated after the admission procedure are given out by lottery.

“The advance quotas amount to a maximum of 20 percent in total and are reserved for certain application groups. … In the main quota, the remaining study places are allocated 50 percent according to average grade and 50 percent according to waiting period. … In the event that study places in bachelor's programs with restricted admission (with NC) have not been allocated after the completion of the admission procedure, these study places will be allocated by means of a lottery system”
