Yes, for your application to be considered, your academic credentials must be evaluated and verified by UniAssist for the SPOT programme in the Winter Semester of 2026/27.

Adjust the search filters by removing “Summer Semester 2026” and adding “Winter Semester 2026/2027”. Search for the term “SPOT”.
Make sure you provide UniAssist with all the necessary personal and educational information. UniAssist should list all the documents you need to upload. If anything is unclear, please contact their support team. Generally, you need to provide school and university certificates. If your documentation turns out to be incomplete, UniAssist will contact you.
Please note that UniAssist requires several weeks to process your documents, and unexpected delays should always be taken into account. To ensure that you receive your Evaluation Report in time for your application through our application portal (the current call closes on 23 January 2026), you must submit all required documents to UniAssist by 2 January 2026, at the very latest.
