Different additional selection criteria apply for different study programmes. The applicable criteria are listed in the Eligibility and Admission Regulations for each study programme.

After you have filled out the online application form of HTW Berlin, the system will automatically generate a list of documents that you must submit. Please submit all documents by the application deadlines for Master’s study programmes.
