Program level control of admission. Applicants use the VIBS portal, some foreign qualifications require sending a VPD from the University of Augsburg to uni-assist, and APS documentation applies for relevant credentials from India, China and Vietnam. Before submitting, applicants have to check the teaching language, the entry semester, subject prerequisites, the selection procedure and the document route. International school or university qualifications may have to be externally assessed, translated and certified and for some countries, accompanied by APS documentation and/or further evidence of academic equivalence. Master’s committees may require module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience or interviews. Doctorate admission is independent of bachelor or master admission and will typically require a viable research proposal, eligible supervision and formal acceptance by the faculty responsible.

In general there is no tuition in the university. The published semester fee for the winter semester 2026/27 is €181.95 and includes the Studierendenwerk contribution and semester transport ticket. These institutional fees do not include rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs or personal travel. If provided for by the relevant law or program regulation, special tuition may be provided for continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree, or long-term study formats. Funding (e.g. BAföG for eligible students, Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards) is available, but each funding application is evaluated separately from admission.

Career preparation is consistent with the subject mix of the university but does not ensure placement. Augsburg’s economy – in industry, health, technology, environment, culture and business – offers internships, research projects, clinical learning and graduate employment. Internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and an externally partnered thesis all help students to become more professionally ready. Augsburg is a good fit for students looking for a broad public university in southern Germany with business, computing, medicine, humanities, and environmental research.
