Do you need a separate uni-assist VPD for each university application?
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
- 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.
- In My assist, request a VPD for each university that requires one. Your certificates are uploaded digitally.
- 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.
