“The application deadline for the winter semester is September 1st * and for the summer semester February 28th (Non-EU: February 5th). … If you already have a valid student visa for Germany, you can apply within the official application deadline.”

Dates are the published annual deadlines, shown here for the next two intakes. Non-EU applicants have an earlier summer deadline (5 February). After the deadline UE runs "a waiting list procedure for available study places each semester"; applicants who already hold a valid German student visa may apply up to the deadline itself, and UE asks applicants to allow for visa delays.
Non-EU tuition: €690 per month Normally paid by the practice partner, so the student pays €0.

The programme page says "Study for €0 The tuition fees are usually paid by the practice partner", and the FAQ adds "The practice partner pays the tuition fees at UE as well as the semester ticket for public transport." A dual programme requires a contract with a practice partner.

No UE page mentions a fee for submitting an application; the fees page lists tuition, the reservation fee and other charges but no application fee.
Registration fee or deposit: €1,500–3,000 one-off Reservation fee (deposit); deducted from the tuition before invoicing. UE's own pages disagree on the amount for non-EU applicants, so the range is recorded: the fees page says "min. € 1,500", the bachelor's and master's "how to apply" pages say 3.000 €. EU citizens pay €1,500, with an exemption for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

“Non-EU applicants Once you are accepted as a student, you will be asked to pay a reservation fee of min. € 1,500”
“Reservation fee (only for Non-EU citizens) … you will be asked to pay a reservation fee of 3.000 €” page
www.ue-germany.com/study-with-us/fees-and-finance · checked 8 November 2026
Re-checked on 2026-11-08: both figures are still live and UE does not reconcile them, so the deposit is recorded as a range. The fees page says "min. € 1,500" for non-EU applicants (and €1,500 for EU citizens, with an exemption for Germany, Austria and Switzerland), while the "how to apply" pages for bachelor's and master's programmes say 3.000 € and label it "only for Non-EU citizens"; the MBA "how to apply" page states no reservation fee at all. The master's page adds that UE issues the letter of admission only after the signed contract and this fee - "This is mandatory for your visa application." The fees page also lists a separate "Registration fee € 490" and a "Technology fee € 89 per year" under "Charges for Additional Services".
Places: Selection procedure
Source
“At UE, we support you from the very first step! You apply to us at UE for a dual study programme. After that, we talk to you and find a practice partner/partner company and organise interviews, etc.”
www.ue-germany.com/study-with-us/faq · checked 7 November 2026
UE states it has no NC, but a dual place depends on being matched with and accepted by a practice partner: "A dual study programme at UE requires a contract with a practice partner." UE organises the interviews with the companies and publishes no number of places.

Admission

What you need to apply

School certificate: General higher education entrance qualification, or an entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences including practical parts; in exceptional cases completed vocational training plus at least two years of subject-related work experience
Source
“General higher education entrance qualification or entrance qualification for studies at universities of applied sciences including practical parts*. … *In exceptional cases, it is also possible to study without the general (technical) university entrance qualification. This requires completed vocational training, at least two years of work experience in a subject-related vocational training and enrolment in a subject-related degree programme.”
www.ue-germany.com/study-with-us/how-to-apply/bachelor · checked 7 November 2026
The FAQ puts the vocational route differently ("a minimum of three years of professional experience") and cites "§ 11 of the Berlin University regulations" even though UE's seat is in Brandenburg. UE asks for the school-leaving certificate (or the most recent upper secondary report) "officially translated to English or German" and allows it to be submitted later.
Foundation or preparatory course: Foundation Year at the Iserlohn campus (9-month W-Course in English for economics and social sciences; 9- and 12-month German-language W- and T-Courses), plus six-month Foundation Diploma courses in Business & Tech and in Art & Design

“Affiliated to the UE, the Foundation year offers a customised programme for students at the university campus in Iserlohn. … W - Course English (Economics) - 9-month course: prepares you for an English-language program in economics or social sciences.”
www.ue-germany.com/programmes/foundation-year · checked 7 November 2026
The Foundation Year requires a school leaving certificate "according to Anabin", English at least B1, German at least A2 and "Successfully passed admission tests and interview". The fees page prices it at €12,500 (9 months) or €14,600 (12 months) and calls it "Studienkolleg (Foundation Courses)".

UE does not say whether TOEFL iBT Home Edition is accepted, and gives no equivalent on the 1-6 TOEFL iBT band scale introduced in January 2026, so toeflIbtBand is left empty. Duolingo is explicitly accepted. UE adds: "Some countries may have specific visa requirements regarding acceptable evidence of English language proficiency" - the German missions in India, Nigeria and Pakistan do not accept every test on this list.

No UE page says whether applicants from India, Nigeria or Pakistan can skip an English test. UE's only exemption goes by native language and names no country: "If the language you have chosen is not your native language, please include proof of your language skills with your application." (ways to UE), repeated in the FAQ as "Should your native language be neither English nor German, please include proof of your language skills with your application." A medium-of-instruction (MOI) letter does not replace a test either: in UE's table it only unlocks the cheapest option, "EFSET (50 mins) + MOI or proctored test at UE* 51" (60 for master's and MBA), and the MBA page writes "EF SET (50-minute Test) 60(only for students applying with an MOI letter)". Because UE never says a test is required regardless, and never says MOI letters are not accepted, this is not "none" either.
Rules that name these countries: India: Applicants in India can have their documents checked and their English assessed before applying at UE's GGG Admissions Assessment Service in Bengaluru and Delhi.
Source
“The GGG Admissions Assessment Service in India is a regional support centre established to assist prospective applicants to UE and our partner institutions. … Early document verification: Academic and supporting documents can be reviewed early in the process to reduce delays and uncertainty later on. … Language readiness support: For applicants needing to demonstrate English proficiency, the Service may facilitate assessments or provide direction on recognised language benchmarks.”
www.ue-germany.com/study-with-us/ggg-admission-assessemnt-service · checked 7 November 2026
An appointment-based support service, not an extra requirement: UE nowhere says that Indian applicants must use it. It is the only India-specific arrangement in UE's admission process; UE never mentions APS, the dMAT or any country-specific document, and names Nigeria and Pakistan nowhere at all.
India: Students from India can apply for tuition financing from GlobCred, UE's external financing partner, which currently serves students from Nepal, India and South Africa only.
Source
“GlobCred is an external financial assistance provider that supports international students with flexible education financing options. … Currently available for students from: Nepal India South Africa”

A third-party loan offer, not a UE fee or discount: UE's tuition, reservation fee and other charges do not depend on nationality. "Availability and eligibility criteria may vary by country. Applications and approvals are handled directly by GlobCred."

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