Before beginning your study programme — summer semester begins on 1 April, winter semester on 1 October — you must provide the following:

• Semester fee
  Pay the fee initially in the full amount. For the semester ticket you can apply to the semester ticket office for assistance from the social fund. The amount of payment from the social fund will be decided by the semester ticket office. For the contribution to the central student union (AStA) you can submit a hardship application to AStA in order to receive permanent exemption.
• German language test certificate (e.g. DSH-2) for university entry or an equivalent language test for all study programmes conducted in German
  This also applies if you have German citizenship but your school/university certificate is from abroad.
• Proof of health insurance
  All students up to the age of 30 are obliged to provide proof of membership in a German statutory health insurance scheme or a copy of the EHIC. In the case of private or foreign health insurance cover, please also provide proof of exemption from participation in a statutory health insurance scheme. At the welcome event for foreign students which the International Office organises shortly before the semester begins, all necessary information will be provide as well as contact with the main German statutory health insurance providers. In Berlin, refugee students will continue to receive benefits under the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act (Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz). After 15 months, the option then exists to apply for financial support in accordance with the Federal Training Assistance Act (BAföG). Refugees will therefore continue to have health insurance coverage under the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act. In such cases proof of health insurance will not be required for enrolment.
• A copy of your passport or identity card
