Application via uni-assist

General overview:

If you have obtained your first degree / higher education entrance qualification outside of Germany, apply via the uni-assist portal "My assist". You can find below a list of the required documents. Please upload your application documents (in English or German) in the uni-assist portal. The officially notarised copies of the certificates have to be sent per post to the following address (valid until winter term 2025/2026):

Ensure all documents are submitted and the uni-assist fee (75€ for the first choice, 30€ for each additional choice) is paid by the application deadline. Otherwise, your application cannot be considered. 

Applications from the summer term 2026 onwards will be processed via an online-only procedure, so no officially notarised copies of your documents have to be sent per post to uni-assist (online-only application).

After applying via uni-assist, you do not have to apply again via our university application portal as uni-assist forwards your application to the University of Koblenz once all eligibility requirements are met.

Apply as early as possible!

We strongly encourage international students, especially non-EU applicants who need a visa, to apply as early as possible due to visa processing times and requirements, which can add up to five months and more.
Furthermore, applications through uni-assist take around eight weeks, followed by a review by the respective department at the University of Koblenz. Early applications help ensure timely arrival and successful enrollment.
