Dubious Application Agencies

Currently, THI is receiving an increasing amount of information regarding fraudulent activities in connection with student applications to THI. Therefore, it is important for you to know the following:

1. THI does not work with agencies. Please apply directly to THI via the Primuss application portal.
2. THI never asks for money via agencies for application purposes.
3. THI only sends emails from @thi.de.
4. THI never asks for money before you receive your admission letter. If you need a VPD from uni-assist, you will have to pay a processing fee to uni-assist. However, uni-assist only checks certain documents and does not grant admission to THI.
5. The application process is conducted in the THI Primuss portal. Only there will you be able to access your application progress.

Important Information for Applicants from Third Countries

Please take note of our Statutes for International Orientation and Selection Procedures

For applicants from third countries, the selection process includes an assessment based on the application documents submitted. Relevant selection criteria include the grade point average of your bachelor's degree, your curriculum, your practical experience, a work sample, and an internal test. In the second stage, a selection interview is conducted.

The dual studies programme enables a combination of practical training elements in a company with the theoretical education provided by the university. There is a choice of either the joint model (academic study + vocational training) or the degree course with vocational experience (academic study + intense practical phases). There is an obvious advantage to students here: practically oriented academic study generally enables a particularly smooth transition from university to the world of work. What is more, the student usually receives financial remuneration from the company concerned.

In the joint model, students may start working at the company several months before the start of the first semester, depending on the company concerned. At the start of the course there is an alternation between theory (during the semester) and practical experience (between semesters and during the practical semesters). In order to embark on a dual studies programme, students have to apply to both a company and to THI (be sure to take note of company application deadlines!). See here for details of partner companies.

More info on our dual studies-pages, or check dual cooperation partner companies. Even if no partner company is currently active in this degree programme, you are welcome to contact us.
