Attention:
From  November 1, 2022 all applicants with an Indian school or university degree will need an APS certificate for the visa application and the enrollment at TUHH!!

The Academic Evaluation Centres (APS) are institutions of the German Embassies and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The APS checks the university entrance qualification and academic performance of applicants who wish to study in Germany. 

All applicants with a school or university degree from China, India or Vietnam, regardless of their nationality, need an APS certificate! Applicants from China and  Vietnam have to submit the APS certificate with the application for admission!
Applicants from India may submit the APS certificates upon enrollment - However, we strongly recommend that Indian applicants also apply for an APS certificate immediately, becuase it is compulsory for the visa appliation!
Students who are supported by German or EU-funded scholarships do not have to apply for an APS certificate.

The APS procedure will take a very long time! Therefore, although we cannot guarantee that you will be admitted by TUHH, you should definitely start applying for the APS certificate immediately. TUHH has no influence on the awarding requirements and the awarding process at the APS! The awarding of the APS certificates can also not be accelerated by TUHH!

With all other questions regarding the APS certificate, please contact the Academic Evaluation Centre in charge directly:

- Academic Evaluation Centre India: https://aps-india.de/
