Can you make parallel university applications with uni-assist?

✓ Answered · 2 min read · 137 views

Yes. In the same semester you can apply for several programmes via uni-assist: 75 € for the first programme and 30 € for each additional one. But not every university uses uni-assist, and each application is assessed separately.

How it works

  • You upload your documents digitally in My assist; nothing is posted to uni-assist.
  • This route only covers uni-assist member universities (about 150–160), and each university decides which programmes run through uni-assist. For the others you apply directly.
  • The fees are the same for standard and VPD applications and are charged regardless of the result.

A separate VPD for each university

  • A VPD is issued for the specific university you chose — one VPD does not work everywhere. You apply for one per university.
  • After receiving it, you must still apply directly to each university before its own deadline. A VPD is not an admission; each university makes its own decision.

Tips

  • Track every deadline separately: the uni-assist deadline is the respective university's deadline.
  • Admission requirements (grade, language, subject fit) vary by programme; there is no Germany-wide NC or grade threshold.
