Uni-Assist Form Filling and Uploading Document

Understanding Uni-Assist

• Application Review: International students submit their applications along with required documents such as transcripts, diplomas, language certificates, and other relevant materials to Uni-Assist.

• Preliminary Evaluation: Uni-Assist performs an initial review of the submitted documents to check if they meet the basic admission requirements of the chosen German universities. They ensure that the documents are complete, authentic, and in the required format.

• Document Verification: Uni-Assist verifies the authenticity of the documents submitted by comparing them to the original or officially certified copies.

• Forwarding Applications: Once the preliminary review and document verification are complete, Uni-Assist forwards the applications to the respective German universities for further evaluation. The universities make the final decisions regarding admission.

Documents Uploading

Specific courses may require additional documents like project reports.

• Before submitting, review all your uploaded documents to ensure completeness and accuracy.
