The University of Stuttgart does not use uni-assist: every applicant, including non-EU applicants, applies in the university's own portal C@MPUS and uploads the documents there. Every document must be translated into German or English by a licensed sworn translator and uploaded twice, in the original language and as the translation. Enrolment after admission also runs through C@MPUS. Several programmes additionally require a programme-specific supplementary form (Ergänzungsformular / adjunct form) to be uploaded with the application.

APS certificate (India)

Needed when you apply

“Country-specific documentation: Applicants with educational credentials from the following countries must upload these additional documents: India : Certificate issued by Academic Examination Office (APS) in the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany Pakistan: Stamp of the Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan on all degree certificates of the university”

The APS certificate is one of the documents Indian applicants upload in C@MPUS during the application, so it must exist before the deadline; the INFOTECH programme states this explicitly. Applicants from Pakistan do not need an APS but must have all degree certificates stamped by the Higher Education Commission (HEC). No rule on the university's pages names Nigeria. INFOTECH lists exceptions valid since September 2025 under which Indian applicants need no APS (degree from another country, an earlier APS, or a German/EU scholarship).

“The University of Stuttgart does not have its own preparatory studies college; instead , depending on the field of specialization, you will be assigned either to the preparatory studies college at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) (T Core Course: mathematical, science or technical degree (KIT/Karlsruhe)) or at the Ruprecht Karls University Heidelberg (G/S/W Core Course: humanities, language studies or economics study programs (Uni Heidelberg))”

Applicants whose school-leaving certificate does not give direct access apply for the Studienkolleg through C@MPUS (15 May - 15 July for the winter semester, 15 November - 15 January for the summer semester) and are placed at KIT Karlsruhe (T course, technical and science subjects) or Heidelberg (G/S/W course, humanities, languages, economics). At least 500 to 800 hours of German are required, an entrance examination in two subjects must be passed (one repeat allowed) and a student visa or residence permit must already be held at admission. The two-semester course ends with the Feststellungsprüfung; afterwards a new application to the University of Stuttgart is needed, and the assessment test must be passed within at most four semesters including the starting semester.

Tuition for non-EU students

Non-EU students pay 1,500.00 EUR tuition per semester, from the first semester, for a bachelor's, consecutive master's or state-examination programme, on top of the 184.00 EUR semester fee. Students on a continuing-education master's or a doctoral programme, EU/EEA citizens, non-German students with a German university entrance qualification and some exchange and double-degree students are not charged; exceptions for strong ties to Germany (settlement permit, refugee status, five years of legal work, a parent who worked three of the last six years in Germany, a bachelor's and a master's completed in Germany) must be applied for after admission. The second-degree fee is 650.00 EUR per semester and is not charged on top of the 1,500.00 EUR.

“Since winter semester 2017/18, international students who are not citizens of an EU/EEA country and who are taking up or switching to a Bachelor's, a consecutive Master's or a state examination study program have to pay a tuition fee of EUR 1,500.00 per semester . Additionally the regular semester fee of currently EUR 184.00 has to be payed. … Information for international students: If you wish to begin a second study program , you must pay the tuition fee for international students (EUR 1,500.00). The tuition fee for a second degree (EUR 650) only applies if you are exempt from paying the tuition fee for international students.”

“The Land Baden-Württemberg has introduced tuition fees for a second degree (650 EUR / semester) and for international students who are not citizens of an EU/EEA country (1500 EUR / semester).” page

The fee follows Baden-Württemberg's Landeshochschulgebührengesetz (LHGebG) and is collected with the semester fee at enrolment and at every re-registration through C@MPUS, so a non-EU student pays 1,684.00 EUR per semester. Moving from a Stuttgart bachelor's to a Stuttgart master's counts as changing programme and starts the fee; a bachelor's earned in Germany is explicitly not an exemption. The application for an exception can only be filed after the place has been accepted and the fee notice received, by the day of enrolment or by the re-registration deadline (15 August for winter, 15 February for summer). The university states that only the Act itself is legally binding and that its staff cannot decide on exemptions.

80.00 EUR administrative fee + 96.50 EUR Studierendenwerk Stuttgart fee + 7.50 EUR student body fee = 184.00 EUR per semester, due at enrolment and at every re-registration. No Deutschlandsemesterticket is included: the fee table has no transport component and the university's transport page points students to the Deutschland-Ticket JugendBW (up to and including 26) or the ordinary Deutschlandticket (27 and older), which they buy themselves. Non-EU students add 1,500.00 EUR tuition, giving 1,684.00 EUR per semester. Late payment of the semester or tuition fee costs 20.00 EUR extra. Students on a joint degree with the University of Hohenheim pay a reduced Studierendenwerk fee of 87.75 EUR.
