BEFORE YOU APPLY
What you need to bring.
- Teaching language
- English-taught academic route. German electives may be available; use English electives for this route. The profile lists no minimum German certificate at entry.
- English certificates & exemptions
- English B2; IELTS Academic 6.5; TOEFL iBT (pre-2026 scale) 90. Check individual component scores, test validity and exemption rules in the source; this is not the complete certificate list.
- Academic requirements
- Relevant first degree with at least 24 ECTS mathematics, 24 practical computing and 16 in an application field. Within those totals, specific linear-algebra, analysis, advanced-mathematics, computing and algorithms modules are required; check the detailed credit breakdown.
- Admission planning group
- Additional selection requirements
- Why this group?
- The source specifies a grade/content threshold, admission restriction, assessment, portfolio or experience condition beyond a basic relevant qualification and language evidence. Read the conditions above.
Planning groups describe the published entry and selection requirements. They are not acceptance rates, university rankings, or a prediction of admission. Open admission still requires a recognised qualification and all stated conditions.
