Applicants with foreign certificates have the same deadline as everyone else but must also hold a uni-assist VPD by then; uni-assist needs four to six weeks (it advises eight), so the VPD has to be requested well before. There is no conditional or provisional admission: every requirement must be proven by the deadline. The summer-semester deadline is not split by language of instruction.

A lottery for leftover places was held for winter 2026/27 in this programme, with an extra application form on the faculty's Master's Application Platform, so the cap is not always binding.

Places for non-EU applicants

The regulation sets module credit minima but no minimum total number of credit points or semesters for the first degree, so a three-year 180-ECTS bachelor's is not excluded as long as it carries the required credits; the central administration decides on the selection commission's vote. German quote because the regulation has no English version.

Subject background
A first university degree qualifying the holder for professional work in a subject close to information systems management: normally at least 12 credit points in analysis and linear algebra, at least 36 in computer science (at least 12 of them in programming and the engineering of parallel and distributed software systems) and at least 18 in economics and business, at least 6 of them in finance and accounting.

Minimum grade
Not stated by the university
2 pages checked, 8 Nov 2026

No cut-off grade: the overall grade earns up to 100 points on a published table (1.0 = 100, 2.0 = 70, 3.0 = 40, 4.0 = 10) and weighs 60 of 100 in the ranking.

English
Level B2. IELTS 6.5 · TOEFL iBT 87 · TOEFL band 4.5 · PTE 65. Cambridge: B2 First with at least grade B. Also accepted at this level: UNIcert II, Oxford Test of English B2.2 (at least 126 points in every competence area), DAAD ZEMS language assessment B2 in all competence areas, ZEMS English-LV B2.2 (grade 2.0 or better). TOEFL test centre code for TU Berlin applications: 2727.. Exemption: Only the German Abitur is listed as an exempting qualification (advanced English course with at least 11/15 points for C1, or English taken for at least seven years with at least 11/15 points for B2); beyond that "further exempting proofs may be determined and checked by the persons responsible for the study programme", for example an English-language school-leaving certificate giving access to higher education

Scores come from TU Berlin's central overview of accepted English certificates, which has two columns: "Recommended score for level B2+" (TOEFL iBT 4.5 / 87+, IELTS Academic 6.5, PTE 65, Cambridge B2 First grade B, Oxford Test of English B2.2 with 126 points, UNIcert II) and "Recommended score for level C1" (TOEFL iBT 5 / 95+, IELTS 7, PTE 76, Cambridge C1 Advanced A-C, Oxford C1 with 141 points, UNIcert III). Neither the TOEFL iBT Home Edition nor the Duolingo English Test appears anywhere in TU Berlin's list, so toeflHomeEdition and duolingoAccepted are left undefined rather than set to false. For a TOEFL certificate TU Berlin asks applicants to use uni-assist test centre code 2727. Certificates must not be older than two years. German quote because the Zugangs- und Zulassungsordnung has no English version; the programme page itself names no level and refers applicants to the regulations.

German

“A proof of German language proficiency is necessary for all degree programs held in German language unless you hold a higher education entrance qualification under German law.”

German is required only for German-language programmes. This programme is taught in English, so no German certificate is asked for at application or during the degree.

Selection
Scored selection procedure: the overall grade of the previous degree weighs 60 of 100 and the relevance of its content 40 of 100, awarded on the credit points earned in named areas (up to 16 points for some areas, up to 12 for finance and accounting). Applicants must enter their credit points and upload module descriptions in an IT system run by Faculty IV and linked from the programme website.

TU Berlin's central list of exempting proofs covers only the German Abitur and, at the programme's discretion, an "English-language school leaving certificate opening access to higher education"; it does not give applicants from India, Nigeria or Pakistan a country-based waiver, and a medium-of-instruction letter is not on the list. The Urban Management programme states the point explicitly: applicants from countries where English is the official language or the language of instruction still have to take a test. Individual programmes differ (Ecology and Environmental Planning, Urban Ecosystem Sciences, Geodesy, Computational Neuroscience and Global Production Engineering publish their own rules), so check the programme record.

Rules that name these countries

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