Compared to experiences of my peers at the vocational school, the content of the LRZ course was very varied; I got to learn about more operating systems, programmes and technologies than anyone else in my class.

As the application period starts in the November prior to the course start date and therefore prior to you getting your exam results, we only need your last two school reports at the time you submit your application to give us an idea of your strengths. However, please note that you will need to send us a copy of your final exam results by the time the course starts.
-
-
- A strong cover letter in which you tell us about yourself and explain why you want to become an IT specialist and study at LRZ.
- A CV that doesn’t just include your school achievements and hobbies, but also highlights your work experience and commitment
- Copies of your last two school reports
- Proof of your work experience placements and other skills (e.g. languages such as German and English)
-
We will focus on your grades in German, English, Maths, and IT in particular, working under the assumption that you are interested in IT and technology and these subjects are important to you. That said, we do not expect top grades. We prefer you to show us why you are interested in IT, that you like problem solving, and that you can work and enjoy working independently as well as part of a team.
-
We start by collecting applications, selecting candidates and inviting them to attend an interview. This starts with a test lasting approx. 30 minutes in which we ask about what you learned in school and your other skills. You will then take part in an interview with the training coordinators in which we will discuss your interests and profile, and which gives you the opportunity to ask us any questions you might have. We generally let all applicants know whether they have secured a course place.
