Admission is controlled at program level. Applicants register in the PRIMUSS portal and use uni-assist review when foreign qualifications require it; each program sets binding language, academic, and deadline rules. Applicants must verify the teaching language, entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure, and document route before submission. International school or university qualifications may require external evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation for applicable countries, or additional evidence of academic equivalence. Master's committees can request module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience, or interviews. Doctoral entry is separate from bachelor's or master's admission and normally requires a viable research proposal, eligible supervision, and formal acceptance by the responsible faculty.

The standard semester contribution is €87. New non-EU/EEA students subject to the regulation pay a €500 study-service fee per semester and a €50 application fee, making €587 per semester before living costs. These institutional charges do not include rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs, or personal travel. Special tuition can apply to continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree, or long-term study formats when the relevant law or program regulation provides for it. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment, or university-specific awards, but every funding application is assessed independently from admission.

Career preparation reflects the university's subject mix and does not constitute a guaranteed placement scheme. Regional manufacturing, automation, energy, logistics, hospitals, software, finance, consulting, and internationally active Mittelstand companies provide applied projects and careers. Students can improve professional readiness through internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility, and an externally partnered thesis. OTH AW is a good match for students seeking English-taught engineering or management, small-campus support, and industry links in eastern Bavaria.
