“The application for admission must be submitted in the form of an electronic application via the TU Braunschweig website (TUconnect).”

TU Braunschweig is not a uni-assist member: applicants with foreign certificates apply in the university's own portal TUconnect and no VPD is needed; the word "uni-assist" appears on no page of tu-braunschweig.de. The documents are uploaded as a single PDF ("Please do not send us any documents by post!"). Two programmes are exceptions, because they are run by international consortia and the application is made there: M.Sc. Business Engineering in Urban Mobility (EIT Urban Mobility Master School) and the Erasmus Mundus M.Sc. Communications Engineering and Data Science (Aalto University).

APS certificate (India)

Needed at enrolment

“If you have obtained your higher education entrance qualification in China, India or Vietnam, you will need a certificate from the Akademische Prüfstelle (APS) to apply for the visa and to enrol at TU Braunschweig.”

The APS certificate is needed for the visa and for enrolment, not with the application: the page stands under "Before admission", i.e. the steps after the application has been sent, and the list of application documents on the application page does not include it. Applicants from India are named; Nigeria and Pakistan have no APS requirement. The page warns that "Processing times can be very long, especially in India", so Indian applicants should start the APS procedure long before the deadline. Only applicants whose higher education entrance qualification (not the bachelor's degree) comes from India are covered by the wording.

Linked Studienkolleg

“Please keep in mind that TU Braunschweig can only register you for the admission procedure at the Lower Saxony Studienkolleg in Hannover.”

TU Braunschweig runs no Studienkolleg of its own. Applicants whose school certificate does not give direct access apply at TU Braunschweig (selecting "Studienkolleg" as the degree in TUconnect) and are registered for the admission procedure of the Niedersächsisches Studienkolleg in Hannover, which decides on the entrance exam. Deadlines: 15 April - 31 May for the winter semester and 15 October - 30 November for the summer semester; at least German B1 is required at application, and the page recommends more because the Studienkolleg pre-selects on the German certificate. Core courses: T (technical, mathematical, scientific), M (medical, biological), W (business, social science), G/S (humanities, languages). Only relevant to bachelor's applicants.

Tuition for non-EU students

No tuition fees for any nationality in the regular bachelor's and master's programmes: Lower Saxony abolished general tuition in winter semester 2014/15, so students pay only the semester contribution. Exceptions are the two consortium master's programmes (Business Engineering in Urban Mobility, Communications Engineering and Data Science), continuing-education programmes, and long-term tuition fees.

Source

“From the 2007 summer semester until the 2014 winter semester, students matriculated at universities in Lower Saxony, including TU Braunschweig, were required to pay a tuition contribution of EUR 500.00 per semester. These tuition fees were abolished by the Lower Saxony State Parliament by law of 11 December 2013 for the winter semester 2014/2015.”

“There are no tuition fees beyond the semester contribution” page

TU Braunschweig publishes no fee that depends on nationality; the fees page names only the semester contribution, long-term tuition fees, continuing-education programmes and guest auditors. Long-term tuition fees of 500.00 EUR per semester start after the standard period of study plus six semesters; for a master's student whose qualifying degree was earned abroad the credit is twice the standard period (4 + 4 semesters), so eight semesters of master's study are free of them. Students aged 60 and above pay 800.00 EUR per semester. Late payment of the re-registration amount costs 15.00 EUR. The programme fees of the two consortium master's programmes are recorded on those programmes.

Semester contribution

€472.50 per semester, includes a transport ticket

“The semester contribution for the winter semester 2026/27 covers the following: EUR 150.00 Student Support Services contribution EUR 247.50 student body contribution (including the Deutschland Semester Ticket) EUR 75.00 contribution to administrative costs = EUR 472.50 semester contribution”

www.tu-braunschweig.de/en/study-teaching/during-your-studies/financing-and-costs · checked 14 November 2026

The Deutschland Semester Ticket is part of the 247.50 EUR student body contribution, so nationwide local and regional public transport is covered; the housing page adds that students can therefore commute from Wolfenbüttel, Gifhorn or Salzgitter at no extra cost. First-year students transfer the contribution when they enrol; students already enrolled pay by 1 August for the winter and 1 February for the summer semester, and a reminder costs 15.00 EUR. The amount is set anew each semester (440.00 EUR in winter semester 2025/26).

Other compulsory fees

€75 one-off · Fee for the assessment of foreign qualifications, paid once with the application; it also covers further applications to TU Braunschweig.

Applicants from India, Nigeria and Pakistan pay this once, whatever the number of programmes; the proof of payment must be attached to each application. Exempt are applicants with an application confirmation from the TU Braunschweig Language Centre for their visa application, graduates of a dual bachelor's degree programme with a German bachelor's degree, applicants who already paid for an earlier TU Braunschweig application (quoting the old application number), holders of a scholarship from a national German provider such as the DAAD, students already enrolled at TU Braunschweig who apply for another programme, and applicants whose documents have already been assessed in Germany. The fee is set in the Fee Regulations of the International House. No other institution-wide fee for non-EU students is published.
