How to Apply for Admission into German Tuition Free Universities.
There are two application deadlines in the German tertiary education system that you need to keep in mind:

When you consider schooling in Germany, know that you are not alone. There are equally students from all over the world seeking admission too.
There are two ways to apply to German universities:
1. To apply, You must create an application account, upload scanned documents of what the university needs. You can only apply to a maximum of 4 universities. Costs for the first desired course of study is EUR 75 whereas the costs for each additional desired course of study is EUR 30. That means applying to 4 different universities using uni-assist will cost you €165. These applications must be submitted both in the preferred university of choice and also at the uni-assist portal
2. The second option is to apply directly to the university. Please, visit the application portal of your choice of university, read about the requirements for your program of studies and provide the university with the needed documents, usually in form of photocopies and then send it through DHL. In this case you aren’t required to send copies of your credentials to uni-assist
