English only from summer semester 2027: § 11 says 'Diese Studienordnung gilt für die ab Sommersemester 2027 Immatrikulierten.' The 2025 regulation, which still governs earlier cohorts, is titled 'Neurorobotik' and says teaching is in German enriched with English content. The rename and the language switch take effect together.

India, Pakistan, Nigeria
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.”

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.

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".
- India: Applicants from India must submit an original APS certificate, or a digitally verifiable equivalent, with their application.
The rules for your country across all universities, and the visa rules on English tests, are on the India, Pakistan and Nigeria pages.
