What to prepare for your application to Materials Engineering (International Profile)
You will need the following documents to apply (upload these as PDFs at the end of your application):
Copy of your transcript of records or your diploma supplement. Please submit a transcript of records with all the semesters you have studied. When you apply you have to be able to provide grades all the semesters you have studied except your last two semesters of study.
A module catalog or course descriptions of all the courses you completed in your studies. If these are available on your university’s webpage, you can also upload a PDF that shows the link to this page. If you do not, or cannot upload a module catalog, the respective Examination Board will still review your application for your eligibility for your chosen course(s) of study. Your application may however have to be rejected due to your missing module catalog.
If you are applying to start a course of study in a higher core semester: a copy of your final academic transcript.

Admission
After expiry of the respective deadlines the Master selection committee will meet. This committee which consists of professors and teaching assistants from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology decides on whether and to which extent the subject requirements are fulfilled.
The following decisions are possible:
If the subject requirements are fulfilled, this committee will determine the technical qualification and recommend the applicant's admission to the Examination Board. A direct admission to the Master course of study will be pronounced.
If the subject requirements cannot be fulfilled in each single area, the selection committee, however, comes to the conclusion that a conditional technical qualification is given, an admission under certain conditions can be recommended. In this case, based on the study contents completed within the previous degree, it is checked whether by fulfilling certain conditions (attending lectures and taking examinations from the Bachelor's degree program "Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, and Computer Engineering") during the Master studies, a rise of the level of qualification to RWTH Bachelor's level can be achieved. Proof of the knowledge related to the condition must be given before registering for the Master thesis. The nature and extent of these conditions will be individually determined by the Examination Board, based on the recommendation of the Master selection committee.
If the admission requirements cannot be fulfilled in any area or are not met in core areas in a striking way, the Master selection committee will come to the conclusion that the technical qualification for the Master's degree program "Electrical Engineering, Information Technology and Computer Engineering" is not given. The Examination Board will pronounce a rejection.
DURATION OF THE ADMISSION CHECK
After expiration of the respective application deadline, the review of the admission requirements can take up to 6 weeks, depending on the number of applications even a little longer. The admission or rejection letter will be sent either by the Registrar's Office or by the International Office as soon as possible.
