Anyone heard back from TU Darmstadt for MSc Mechanics (WiSe 2026/27)? How long did the decision take?
Hey everyone,
I applied for the MSc Mechanics (admission unrestricted) at TU Darmstadt for Winter Semester 2026/27. Submitted everything in early June, and my application status on TUCaN shows "Antrag im Fachbereich" — meaning it's been received by the department (June 26).
It's now been around 7 weeks since the department received it and I still haven't heard back. I know it's an unrestricted programme so there's no seat competition, but I'm getting a bit anxious given the visa timelines involved as an international applicant.
A few questions for anyone who's been through this:
- How long did TU Darmstadt take to send a decision for MSc Mechanics? Did it come via TUCaN or email?
- Did "Antrag im Fachbereich" stay like that until the final decision, or did the status change in between?
- For those who applied with a non-traditional background (e.g. Automation, Mechatronics, Robotics) — did the examination board ask for any additional documents for the equivalency check?
- Any idea when the last batch of decisions typically goes out before the October 1 semester start?
Background: I'm from India, B.Tech in Automation & Robotics, CGPA 8.06, IELTS 7.5, two IEEE publications. The unrestricted nature of the programme gives me some hope but the waiting is rough especially with visa processing deadlines looming.
Would really appreciate any insight from people who've been through the TU Darmstadt Mechanics admissions process!
Thanks in advance 🙏
