You must have applied by the application deadline and been admitted. You can find more information on the page Application for a Higher Course Semester.

You can only enroll in a Master’s course of study once you can prove that you have completed your Bachelor’s degree.

In the case of external applicants, this proof can be the Bachelor’s degree certificate or an official pass certificate, from your university’s central examination office, for example. The final grade does not need to have been awarded yet, but you must have completed the degree. The type of degree must be evident from the certificate (for example: Mr./Ms.........has successfully completed the Bachelor’s degree program in ......... on ........).

RWTH graduates may also submit the official Bachelor’s certificate after earlier only having given proof of successful completion. However, if the Bachelor’s diploma is not yet available at the time of application, RWTH Aachen University’s examination office, or ZPA, must by then, at least, have recorded the completion of studies as “passed” in the system.

If you are an RWTH graduate whose last graded exam is the bachelor thesis, you may submit a 4.0 certificate of the Bachelor’s thesis to the ZPA so that they can record the completion of your studies with “passed” in the system.

Since the enrollment documents for the different Master’s programs can vary, please refer to RWTHonline for all the documents you are required to upload for enrollment.
