5.4 Filling out the application form for admission („Antrag auf Zulassung
zum Studium für internationale Studierende, Immatrikulation)
As the next step you will have to fill out the application form for admission and submit two
authorized copies of your Bachelors Degree Certificate. This will be collected from the GPEcoordination
and given to the International Admission department (AAA). You will get the
“Bescheid über die bedingte Zulassung” (Notice of Conditional Admission), which you will
receive from the GPE-Coordination Office.
5.5 Bank Account for students: student account (“Studentenkonto”)
You will probably want to open a bank account in Berlin in order to deal with financial matters
more quickly and efficiently. If your bank in your home country has a partner bank or even a
branch in Berlin, you should open an account with this bank. Usually, this will avoid fees for
transfers from and to your home country.
Otherwise, you can open a student account which is free of fees with various banks (Even the
Post office has a bank branch.) A bank account in Germany may be required for some
services, e.g. to get a room in a dormitory or being registered with health insurance.
In order to open a student account you will need the following documents:
• passport or official ID
• polizeiliche Anmeldebestätigung (registration of residence)
• TUB Studentenausweis / Bescheid (student passport of TUB)
In case it is not possible to open a student account without the TUB Studentenausweis or the
Bescheid, you should open a regular current account (for which you have to pay banking
fees) and then, later on with your student ID, have it transformed into a student account.
Here are some banks with departments close to TUB. Those banks have a cash
confederation, so you can withdraw money at EC cash points from either bank free of charge
even if your account is with another bank of the confederation. Otherwise there is usually no
difference in the conditions of these banks. But therefore you have to ask whether you will be
given an EC-card (eurocheque-card). Not everybody gets an EC-card, mostly only people
who prove their regular income do. But why not ask- with an EC card it is easy to get money
at any bank.
Please ask for the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) and the SWITF-code of your
bank. This will ease the money transfer from your home country to Germany.
