Entry requirements for Irish students

  • Germany: the Leaving Certificate gives direct university entry only with the subject/level combination required by German rules. You need six subjects, at least two at Higher Level H5 or better and the rest at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. For engineering you also need Higher Level Maths at H5 and a Higher Level science at H5. OTH requires everyone with a foreign school-leaving certificate to get a VPD. Confirm with OTH admissions.
  • English at B2 level: TOEFL 72, IELTS 5.0, Cambridge First, TOEIC 785, PTE Academic 59, UNIcert II, or school-leaving English grades. Ask admissions whether your Leaving Cert English counts.
  • You must show German at A2 level at the start of your studies. You are exempt if your school qualification was obtained in German.

How to apply

  1. Check your subjectsTake Higher Level Maths and a Higher Level science (such as Physics, Chemistry or Biology) and aim for H5 or better.
  2. Get a VPD from uni-assistApply to uni-assist early in 2027 so the VPD is ready before 15 July.
  3. Apply on PrimussApply on the OTH Amberg-Weiden Primuss portal during the winter application period (15 April to 15 July, standing dates) with your VPD and proof of English at B2.
  4. Get German A2 and enrolGet a German A2 certificate before your studies start and pay the semester contribution to begin on 1 October 2027.
Leaving Cert students: results come out in August, after this deadline, and uni-assist doesn’t accept predicted Leaving Cert grades. If you’re applying with 2027 results, check with the university before relying on this date. This deadline still works if you already have your results.
Deadline for Irish/EU applicants: Winter semester (starts 1 October): the programme’s application page gives 15 April to 15 July. Summer semester (starts 15 March): 1 November to 15 January. OTH says deadlines may be extended in exceptional cases. These are the standing annual dates, not dates confirmed for 2027..

Costs

  • No tuition fees for EU/EEA students. You pay only the semester contribution, which OTH Amberg-Weiden lists as EUR 87 per semester (about EUR 174 a year). The EUR 500 per semester study service fee applies only to non-EU/EEA nationals. uni-assist charges its own fee for the VPD.
Teaching is in English, but you must prove German A2 at the start of your studies. German engineering entry rules also mean you need Higher Level Maths and a Higher Level science at H5.
