University of Technology Nuremberg

The newly founded Nuremberg University of Technology (UTN) is the perfect place for anyone who wants to think outside the box. The focus here is on interdisciplinarity, internationality and digitalization. At the UTN, engineering and technical sciences are combined with the humanities, and natural and social sciences to develop answers to social issues. Lectures and seminars are held in English to meet the requirements of a globalized working world. The UTN uses modern digital teaching methods and at the same time creates a personal learning environment that enables close cooperation between professors and students.

The focal point of the new university will be the major social issues of the future. These will be jointly addressed by technical science, natural science, humanities and social sciences, across all traditional disciplinary boundaries.

The University of Technology Nuremberg wants to prepare and train its students for the labor market of the future, thus acting as a driver for innovation for the metropolitan region of Nuremberg and enriching Bavaria as a center of science.

Apply for a visa

If you are required to have a visa for Germany and have been granted admission to study, you must make an appointment at the German mission in your current country of residence to apply for a visa. If you are a student, you need a visa according to § 16b of the Residence Act. You can usually find the documents you need for the application in the checklists provided by the German mission abroad. If you have not yet been admitted to study, you can also apply for a visa for the purpose of applying to study.

Proof of funding is required for a visa, especially for students and researchers without an employment contract in Germany. The most common proof of sufficient funds is the so-called blocked account. On Study in Germany, you can find detailed information about the proof of funding and the blocked account.

Please note: You should never apply for a Schengen visa for tourist purposes! This visa cannot be extended or changed into a visa for study purposes after entry. Also, your visa must allow you to study at a specific university. If you initially applied for your visa with plans to attend another university, you should have it changed immediately after entering the country so that you can successfully enroll at UTN.
