Remember – the deadline for your application is 15 June!

 

Uni-assist checks all applications to see that they are correct and complete, and to determine whether they suit the course of studies selected. If everything is in order, applications are then passed on to the JLU Giessen. Once you have received written notification from uni-assist that your application has been forwarded to the University, you can apply for a student visa at the nearest German Consulate in your home country. It should be pointed out, however, that this written notification from uni-assist does not legally guarantee the issuing of a student visa.

 

Because of the duration of the application procedure, your application documents and the requisite processing fees must arrive at uni-assist no later than 14 days before the application deadline. Official date of receipt for your application is the day on which your application documents are determined to be complete.

 

Applicants submitting their application via uni-assist should note the following:

  • Make sure you first register on the online portal of uni-assist. Here you can submit an application or, if necessary, more than one.
    The uni-assist internet portal for study applicants

  • Download all important documents (http://languages.uni-assist.de/downloads-and-links.html), and fill them in. After completion, print out the forms and all of the applications desired, affix your personal signature, and send them by post to uni-assist (if possible, all of the forms together in one envelope).

  • In addition to the above, please send to uni-assist an officially endorsed copy (NOT the original!) of your Bachelor’s degree certificate (or equivalent) along with a transcript of all courses taken together with the grades awarded.

  • As a rule, documents are acceptable if they are in English. In the case of certificates in languages other than English, you must submit both the originals and officially endorsed copies of translations of these (into German or English). The translations are valid only if they have been prepared by an officially qualified professional translator.

  • Proof of proficiency in the English language should likewise be officially endorsed copies (if it is not possible for uni-assist to obtain online access to the test results at the language institute concerned).
