Application procedure
Starting a course of study at the Humboldt University of Berlin is only possible if you submit an application in advance.
A distinction is made between two application paths:

Application via the preliminary examination office uni-assist eV
Which of these two options applies to you depends on which access authorization you base your application on. Your nationality doesn't matter. The only decisive factor is whether it is a German or a foreign access authorization.
Note: Experienced professionals without a primary school-based university entrance qualification can, under certain conditions, rely on a general or subject-specific university entrance qualification in accordance with Section 11 of the Berlin Higher Education Act (BerlHG). In any case, you register and apply directly to the Humboldt University of Berlin .
