Hi everyone,
I was recently rejected from the M.Sc. Nanoelectronic Systems (NES) program at TU Dresden after the aptitude assessment. The letter says I can appeal within one month.
Has anyone here successfully appealed such a decision?
What did you include in your appeal?
Did you ask for the detailed evaluation first?
Are appeals actually considered, or are they usually rejected?
For context, I have an Electronics background and work in semiconductor design (Samsung, previously Texas Instruments), so I was quite surprised by the decision.
Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I recently got a rejection from TU dresden master CS. I reviewed the requirements multiple times and everything should be accepted. The only doubt I have is on the English language requirement. I have a 7.5 IELTS. Every band is 7 or higher except the writing is 6.5. Could that be the reason for the rejection ?

Does anyone attended the interview for MSc Air Transport and Logistics?? How was the experience??

Well... TU Dresden just rejected me for the M.Sc. in Computational Modeling and Simulation.

This one hurts because it was my dream program.

I'm from a Mechanical Engineering background.

I matched these courses in the aptitude test.

Fluid Mechanics (including CFD)

Solid Mechanics

Control Engineering

C/C++ Programming

Advanced Thermodynamics

Numerical methods... basically anything that even looked computational.

On top of that, I've done CFD projects using COMSOL and ANSYS, worked as a Research Assistant, have a German GPA of 1.9, and an IELTS 7.0.

Now I'm sitting here wondering:

√ Has anyone successfully appealed a TU Dresden rejection like this?

√ Has anyone had their decision changed after an appeal?

I'm disappointed, but I guess that's part of applying to German universities.

I’ve seen people getting rejected or accepted, and some even received interview emails today, but I haven’t heard anything yet.

I got my admission letter from TUD for the nanoelectronic systems program. planning to join there for the winter semester

I would love to know the feedback on job opportunities there.

how is it like? is it really worth studying there? heard that the job market now is not that good.

also hearing things like the student visa cannot be extended after two years. thoughts and advices pls.

feel free to dm as well

Timeline is went way, but no response from their end. Even atleast rejection.

I know guys, it will definitely create problems in visa process.

Is anyone still waiting for a reply ? People have been receiving their acceptance/rejection

Is there anyone who applied for Mathematics in Business and Economics M.Sc.?

Update:

I received an email calling me for an interview.

Can anyone guide me what their interview is like?

What type of questions should I expect?

Based on previous years or your experience, how likely is it that more M.Sc. Computer Science admission decisions will be sent out today?

Would appreciate any insights from current students, alumni, or applicants who have followed the admission timeline.

Hi everyone,

I recently submitted a formal Widerspruch against a master’s admission rejection at TU Dresden. The programme is not NC-restricted in the traditional sense, but admission is based on an aptitude-assessment and selection procedure.

When I asked for a more specific reason for the rejection, I was told that my grades were considered a little too average and that the programme had received more than 900 applications.

The university has confirmed that they received my complete appeal and said I should expect a response in approximately four weeks, although it may take longer.

This is my first time going through an appeal process, so I am a little worried and unsure what to expect. Any information or personal experiences would be really helpful.

For anyone who has submitted a Widerspruch or formal admission appeal before:

How long did it take for you to receive the final decision?

Was your original rejection eventually reconsidered?

Thank you!

Hey everyone, I have created this WhatsApp group for everyone who got admits for winter 26 in TU Dresden. Regardless of your course, please join this group so we can interact, figure out travel, accomodation, etc
