A German or English certification of your degree and current summary of achievements (Transcript of Records) regarding the course of study (Diploma/Bachelor) qualifying you to study this course (qualifications see above). An overall grade of at least 2,5 (German GPA) must be achieved. Please use the Bavarian formula to translate your grade: https://www.tum.de/en/studies/application/grade-conversio...
and notice that we have a different scaling in Germany (1=highest grade; 4= lowest grade to pass). If the course of study qualifying you for the Master’s course has not yet been completed, you will need to provide a provisional final grade (if this is not shown in the summary of achievements, corresponding certification will need to be provided by the relevant examination office).

Both possibilities are individually linked to the specific home country.
