The only regulation in this dataset without the 'gegebenenfalls angereichert mit deutschsprachigen Inhalten' caveat.

Study mode
On campus

“Bei allen Lehrformen gemäß Absatz 1 können Methoden des E-Learning zum Einsatz kommen, soweit der Charakter der jeweiligen Lehrform gewahrt bleibt.”

DAAD classifies the mode as 'less than 50% online'; the regulation only permits e-learning methods inside the normal teaching formats, so on-campus is recorded.

Application fee
Not stated by the university
3 pages checked, 7 Nov 2026

eduapplication.de renders its application info and FAQ in JavaScript and serves only navigation labels, so no fee is readable. The Advanced Manufacturing faculty states 49.95 EUR for the same portal; that figure is not extrapolated to the other pilot programmes.

“An der Technischen Universität Chemnitz sind im Wintersemester 2026/2027 der Bachelorstudiengang Psychologie, das Lehramt an Grundschulen und die beiden Masterstudiengänge Psychologie sowie Psychologie mit Schwerpunkt Klinische Psychologie und Psychotherapie zulassungsbeschränkt. … Die Einschreibungen in alle zulassungsfreien Bachelor- und Masterstudiengänge”

www.tu-chemnitz.de/tu/pressestelle/aktuell/13586 · checked 14 November 2026

This programme is not one of the four restricted ones and the winter 2026/27 Grenzwerte lists linked from ncwerte.php name no others, so it is one of the zulassungsfreie programmes. Its own pages do not print 'zulassungsfrei'. German quote because the announcement has no English version.

Admission

What you need to apply

Case by case
Source
“Über die Gleichwertigkeit sowie über den Zugang anderer Bewerber entscheidet der Prüfungsausschuss.”

www.tu-chemnitz.de/verwaltung/studentenamt/abt11/ordnungen/2023/AB_2023_26_2.pdf · checked 7 November 2026

The regulation sets no credit-point or minimum-duration floor for the first degree: searching the PDF for 'mindestens 180 Leistungspunkte', '210 Leistungspunkte' and 'Regelstudienzeit von mindestens drei Jahren' returns nothing. A 180-ECTS degree is neither required nor excluded; the examination board decides on equivalence.

Subject background
A B.Sc. in Mathematics from TU Chemnitz or a degree equivalent in content. A broad, rigorous, proof-oriented mathematical education is expected; programmes that mainly apply mathematics in another field are not a fit.

“Die Zugangsvoraussetzung für den Masterstudiengang Advanced and Computational Mathematics erfüllt, wer an der Technischen Universität Chemnitz im Bachelorstudiengang Mathematik oder wer in einem inhaltlich gleichwertigen Studiengang einen berufsqualifizierenden Hochschulabschluss erworben hat.”

How your grade is converted
Not stated by the university
2 pages checked, 7 Nov 2026

No admission conversion formula is published. uni-assist converts the school-leaving grade, but this programme does not use uni-assist.

English
Level B2. IELTS 5.5 · TOEFL iBT 72 · Home Edition accepted · PTE 59. Cambridge: First Certificate in English grade B or C (FCE); Preliminary English Test with Result Distinction (PET). Unlike other programmes, applicants who can show English skills with comparable suitable documents are individually assessed instead of being held to the certificate list.. Exemption: A Medium of Instruction certificate confirming the previous degree was taught in English is accepted; applicants from countries with English as official, educational or native language need no proof

“who can prove English skills with comparable suitable documents, are subject to an individual assessment”

The central application page accepts the TOEFL iBT Home Edition since its November 2026 revision; the Duolingo English Test is mentioned on neither page.

How to apply
Directly to the university

“been revised as part of a pilot project. Applications are now submitted directly via the EduApplication Portal”

www.tu-chemnitz.de/studierendenservice/studserv/bewerbung/bew_bamala.php.en · checked 7 November 2026

Applications go to the EduApplication portal instead of uni-assist. The printed Application Guide (March 2026) still lists only four pilot programmes, and the ETIT faculty pages for Information and Communication Systems and Design and Test for Integrated Circuits still name uni-assist.

Rules for applicants from India, Pakistan and Nigeria

English test waiver
Possible for applicants from India, Nigeria, Pakistan, because English is an official language there
Source
“Applicants from countries with English as official, educational or native language are not required to submit a proof of English language proficiency within their application. However, different requirements apply to certain countries. In such cases, additional proof of English language proficiency may be required.”

www.tu-chemnitz.de/studierendenservice/studserv/bewerbung/bew_bamala.php.en · checked 8 November 2026

TU Chemnitz reserves different requirements for certain countries but never names them: no page, programme page, application guide or regulation lists the countries, so an applicant from India, Nigeria or Pakistan cannot tell from any published source whether the waiver really applies to them and should expect to be asked for a certificate. English is an official language and a language of education in all three countries, so the wording covers them on its face. The caveat sentence appears on the central application page only; the Application Guide and Bewerbungsguide PDFs, the Business & Economics language page, the Automotive Software Engineering page and the Mechanical Engineering applicant PDF state the same waiver without any exception, so the central page is the strictest source and the one cited here. Independently of the country rule, the accepted-certificate list itself counts a "completed degree with English as the language of instruction", and the Advanced and Computational Mathematics and Automation, Robotics and Control pages say explicitly that a Medium of Instruction certificate is accepted. The German embassy's visa section may still require a certificate even where the university does not.

Rules that name these countries
  • India: Applicants from India must submit an original APS certificate, or a digitally verifiable equivalent, with their application.
    Source
    “original APS-certificate or digital verifiable document (only for Chinese, Vietnamese and Indian applicants)”

    www.tu-chemnitz.de/studierendenservice/studserv/bewerbung/bew_bamala.php.en · checked 7 November 2026

    One of the documents that have to be submitted "For application via uni-assist or EduApplication Portal", so it applies on both routes and at both degree levels. China and Vietnam are named in the same line; the Application Guide writes "or Indian applicants".

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