Conflict: the programme page advertises 'starting of the course: summer term and winter term'. The 2025 regulation, binding for entrants from winter 2026/27, says winter as a rule — so a summer start is not reliably available.
- Non-EU deadline
- 15 Jul 2027 (winter 2027)Applications open 1 April 2027. The extension to 31 August applies to EU/EEA/Swiss applicants only.

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.

- A bachelor's in Informatik or Angewandte Informatik from TU Chemnitz, or a degree equivalent in content, plus completed English B2. The programme page additionally names Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik.

Cambridge: First Certificate in English grade B or C (FCE); Preliminary English Test with Result Distinction (PET); Business Vantage (BEC Vantage), Legal (ILEC) or Financial (ICFE); IGCSE 1st or 2nd Language with B2.

The Application Guide additionally lists TOEFL PBT 543..

“must be proven by one of the following language certificates: IELTS 5.5 TOEFL iBT (Internet Based Test, Home Edition) 4.0 (72 points) TOEFL ITP Level 1: 543 points … Pearson PTE Academic: 59 points … 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”

The page now writes the TOEFL entry as "TOEFL iBT (Internet Based Test, Home Edition) 4.0 (72 points)", so the Home Edition is accepted; until the November 2026 revision it read "(Internet Based Test)" only. The Duolingo English Test still appears nowhere in the university's accepted-certificate list, so duolingoAccepted is left undefined rather than set to false. The minimum is written on the new scale as "4.0 (72 points)".
- German
- Not needed when applying. During studies: German language modules are part of the curriculum

“In case of the following degree programmes, the applicants do not need to show a proof of German proficiency at time of application as German language education is already part of these degree programmes”

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.

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.
