Applicants who can provide the following documents are generally exempt from the requirement to provide proof of their English language skills for Aerospace Engineering:
Secondary School Certificate: British A-Level certificates, Irish Leaving Certificate, Scottish Qualifications Certificate, New Zealand National Certificate of Educational Achievement, Canadian secondary school leaving certificates from all provinces except Quebec and New Brunswick. University degree from: Great Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, USA, Canada (excluding degrees from the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick).
German language skills
Applicants whose first language is not German, or who did not obtain their university entrance qualification at a German-speaking university, must provide proof of their German language skills by taking the ‘Zertifikat Deutsch’ exam at level C1. Certificates from the Goethe Institute are recognised without further assessment by the Student Administration Office.
pre-study practical training
No pre-study practical training is required for admission to the B.Eng. degree programme in Aerospace Engineering. However, experience has shown that it is very helpful for students to understand the theoretical content of the degree programme in conjunction with its practical components. Having already worked with certain materials or manufacturing processes is an advantage if these are covered in the course.
Registration
A few weeks after your application, you will receive a letter of acceptance or rejection from the faculties. This will reserve you a place at university.
If you would like to take up the place at university, you will need to provide some further information and take some additional steps. Simply follow the instructions on the letter of admission within the deadline.
