Do you need a separate uni-assist VPD for each university application?

✓ Answered · 2 min read · Community · 123 views

Yes. A VPD is issued specifically for the university you chose, so you request a separate VPD from uni-assist for every university that asks for one. One VPD cannot be reused for other universities.

Why one per university?

  • Only universities that have instructed uni-assist to use the VPD procedure ask for it. The evaluation follows that university's instruction, and the document is issued for that university.
  • Each VPD is valid for one year from the date of issue.

What it costs

  • First course in a semester: 75 €
  • Each additional course in the same semester: 30 €
  • The fees are the same for standard and VPD applications and are charged regardless of the result.

What to do in practice

  1. Check on each university's application page and in uni-assist's list of member universities whether it uses uni-assist and whether it wants a VPD.
  2. In My assist, request a VPD for each university that requires one. Your certificates are uploaded digitally.
  3. Submit each VPD with your direct application to the matching university before that university's deadline.

A VPD is not an admission: every university makes its own decision.
