I hold a German Bachelor’s degree but I am an international student. In this case, should I send
my application to uni-assist e.V. or directly to TH Wildau?

If you hold an academic degree from a German university, which is qualifying for the European
Management Master’s programme, you can send your application directly to TH Wildau.
Please refer to the following website for more information regarding

determined beforehand a respective application term. The GPA depends on the final grades of
the applicants’ university degrees. Thus we always recommend to hand in your application. If the
admission requirements are fulfilled an application will be considered in the selection procedure.

I have completed my Bachelor’s degree which was taught 100% in English. Do I still have to
provide an English language certificate?

You do not have to provide an English language certificate if you have completed a bachelor’s
programme which was completely taught in English (100%) and which qualifies for the European
Management Master’s degree programme according to the admission requirements.

Other possibilities to prove the required language proficiency are as follows and can be found in the current language proficiency guidelines document and on the website of the European Management study programme under the tab "Admission Requirements and Application".

English language proficiency of at least C1 level of the CEFR is an admission requirement. Therefore
a certified copy of your English language certificate must be at the Department of Admission and Examinations.

Do I require certification/attestation (German: Beglaubigung) of official documents that I
would like to hand in with my application?

Yes, you do need to obtain certification for all documents such as your Bachelor’s degree certificate
and the related transcript of records. The same applies to the English language certificate.

If these documents are not written in English or German or if you hand in further documents that
are not written in German or English you also have to provide certified German translations for
these documents.

What are certified documents or certified copies of official documents (German: Beglaubigung)?
And where can I get them?

The certification is an official attestation of the correctness of a document or a transcription, e.g.
through certification by a notary or by another authorized authority under national law.
The website of uni-assist e.V. provides helpful information on the topic of certified copies and
certified translations:

www.uni-assist.de/en/how-to-apply/assemble-your-documents/certified-copies-andtranslations/

You can also request certified copies from the following authorities (German websites only):

In Berlin: service.berlin.de/dienstleistung/121701/

In the city of Koenigs-Wusterhausen (close to Technische Hochschule Wildau—University of Applied Sciences):

There are no tuition fees for the European Management Master’s programme. The university only charges semester fees (German: Semesterbeitrag) for each semester. The semester fee includes a student semester ticket for the public transport in the Berlin-Brandenburg region.

Please check the following link for more details: semester fees

I am enrolled at TH Wildau but due to personal reasons I cannot study now. What should I do?

Please contact the Student Affairs department (Sachgebiet Studentische Angelegenheiten).

If I take a break from my studies (Urlaubssemester), do I still need to pay the semester fees?

Please contact the Student Affairs department (Sachgebiet Studentische Angelegenheiten) as
this question requires a consultation.

Due to the general regulatory framework (German: Rahmenordnung) of TUAS Wildau there are
three types of examinations (FMP, SMP and KMP). These examination types are defined in terms
of whether an examination takes place during the lecture period or outside of the lecture period
(=during a two-week examination period). The examination types are defined as follows:

1) FMP (German: Feste Modulprüfung): Examination that will take place during a two-week examination period right after the end or right before the start of a lecture period (depending
on whether it is a regular (first) examination or a second or third trial).

2) SMP (German: Semesterbegleitende Modulprüfung): Examination that will take place during the lecture period. SMP can be splitted into several smaller examinations that will take place during the lecture period. The design of the examination(s) is the responsibility of the respective teacher. He or she will present the examination scheme at the beginning of a course and semester.

Second or third trials of SMP examinations will take place during the following lecture period(s):

• either during the following semester (German: Semesterweise)
• or during the following year (German: Matrikelweise).

3) KMP (German: Kombinierte Modulprüfung): Combined examination, consisting of a FMP and one or several SMP-part(s), thus you will have to pass several (combined) examinations
in order to finish a module/course with the examination type KMP:

• one or more examination(s) during the lecture period (SMP)
• one examination during the examination period (FMP)

The Rahmenordnung is published at the following website (Nr. 46/2017):

www.th-wildau.de/hochschule/amtliche-mitteilungen/

Can I actively postpone my examination? What do I need to do if I cannot take part in an examination
due to illness? Who should I contact?

1) De-Registration from an examination
If you are registered for a module/course you will automatically be registered for the examination pertaining to that module/course. If you don’t want to take part in the examination you
must actively de-register from the examination in time:

The meaning of “in time” depends on the type of examination (see question 3):

• FMP: De-registration is possible up to three days before the examination date only.
• SMP / KMP: De-registration is possible during the first three weeks of the lecture period only.

De-registration from an examination will always cause an automatic registration for the subsequent examination.

Please refer to question no 3 “examination types and resulting examination terms” of this FAQ for a detailed explanation of each examination type!

2) Illness
If you are ill and therefore cannot take part in an examination, you have to visit a doctor to receive
a medical sickness certificate (German: Attest or Krankschreibung).

Within a three-day time-limit (post stamp or hand-delivery) you must send/deliver the certificate
to the dean’s office (German: Dekanat) of the faculty of business, computing and law. You have
to include your name (readable), the name of your degree programme and the examination that
you missed (name of the module/course and date of the examination). In addition you have to
hand in the form “Prüfungsverhinderungsanzeige” which is available on the following website
under the tab “Prüfung, Prüfungsausschuss”:

www.th-wildau.de/im-studium/studienorganisation-a-z/formulare-und-antraege/

If you are afraid the original medical sickness certificate won’t arrive in time, please contact the
dean’s office to find out if you need to do anything else (e.g. sending a scanned copy to the
dean’s office via email in advance). Contact details of the dean’s office are available at the following
website under “Dekanat”:

www.th-wildau.de/hochschule/fachbereiche/fachbereich-wirtschaft-informatikrecht/

If you fail the final (third) attempt of an examination you will lose the right to pass the examination another time, thus you will definitely fail the module/course. Exmatriculation/De-registration will follow and in general you won’t be able to enroll as a student for the same or for a similar degree programme at another university in Germany.

During the study-exchange, students have to pay semester fees in TH Wildau to make sure they remain registered as full time students. There might be a chance to get a refund for a part of the fees, e.g. for the semester ticket. For questions regarding full or partly refund of the semester fees please contact the paying agent of TH Wildau: semestergebuehren(at)th-wildau.de
Whether the university abroad will charge semester fees is subject to their regulations. So please get in touch with your contact person at the exchange university.

Exchange with the Erasmus programme:

According to the regulation of the Erasmus programme, partner universities cannot charge semester fees from exchange students. However, they are allowed to charge administrative fees.

If I fail one or two courses during the exchange period, can I take courses to compensate the
missing credits when I’m back at TH Wildau? What are the term dates of these course? Do I
have to study another year?

In most cases, exchange students successfully pass all examinations. However, if you are afraid of failing an examination and not having the chance to pass another trial during your exchange semester, please contact the director of the European Management Master’s programme (Prof. Rainer Stollhoff) in time in order to find a solution. Contact details are available on the following website:

en.th-wildau.de/study/programmes/european-management-ma/

After you receive an email from the department of Student Affairs (German: Sachgebiet Studentische Angelegenheiten) you can personally collect your Master’s certificate at the student affairs office or you can request the delivery by mail against payment of a fee. Office hours (German: Sprechzeiten) are available at the following website (German only):
