Application Procedure for Non-EU-Citizens

Exception: Applicants who are considered equivalent in terms of admission requirements under the same conditions apply through the EU procedure. You hold a university entrance qualification from an EU/EEA country. OR: You are resident in Germany and are married to a German or EU/EEA national (also applies to registered civil partnerships) or can prove a direct lineal relationship with an EU/EEA national resident in Germany (Artikel 2 Nr. 2 der Richtlinie 2004/38/EG des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates vom 29. April 2004).

Applicants with indirect University access who are considered equivalent in terms of admission requirements cannot apply directly to the University of Cologne, but must first attend a regular Studienkolleg. 

Please note: Applications are only possible with a valid TestAS certificate. Applications must be submitted online via uni-assist e.V.
