From summer semester 2024 on, we strongly recommend applicants from non-EU countries like India, Pakistan, China etc. to submit the results of an international standard graduate test. This will strongly improve your chances of admission, since only about 10 % of our applicants get an admission to our master’s program. The submission of a standard graduate test makes it much easier for you to show and for us to assess your academic performance. It will also speed up your application process so that you have the chance to get an early admission to make your visa application easier. The following tests are accepted:
„Graduate Record Examination (GRE)” as “subject test physics“, “subject test mathematics“ or “General Test” (https://www.ets.org/gre.html)
„Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering“ (GATE) with an engineering test paper (https://gate2024.iisc.ac.in/)
Bachelor's degree in an engineering programme that is close to our Bachelor of Science degree programme Electromobility – ACES (also mechanical, electrical or vehicle/automotive engineering or at least 140 ECTS in one of these programmes)
We strongly recommend applicants from non-EU countries like India, Pakistan, China etc. to submit the results of an international standard graduate test like GRE or GATE
