Application & Enrollment
This can be done easily online. You can find the university portal here. Once your application has been successful, you can enroll online. You will receive all the information you need about paying the semester fee, uploading documents, and health insurance.
What is required?
- A scan of your high school diploma
- Electronic notification from your health insurance company

For students transferring from another university: Certificate of good standing from your previous university
Once you have successfully enrolled, you can print out your enrollment certificate from the university portal. Your student ID card will be sent to you by mail.
Once you have received the documents, you are now a student at TUBAF.
Start of Studies
To help you get started with your studies, we have prepared a series of events designed to help you get to know the university and the city and organize your studies.
You can expect introductory events that serve as immediate organizational preparation for your studies, preliminary courses in the basic natural science subjects of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, as well as training courses offered by central institutions such as the library or the computer center.
Participation in the orientation and introductory events is voluntary.
However, we recommend that you take advantage of this opportunity to get to know your fellow students and start your studies well prepared.
All new students will receive our iconic university backpack with useful information about starting your studies as part of the central introductory event. All you have to do is take part in a short survey.
