History
uni-assist e.V. is described as the Arbeits- und Servicestelle für internationale Studienbewerbungen, an institution carried by around 150 German higher education institutions for the pre-assessment of international study applications. During its founding phase, the DAAD provided one-off start-up funding from resources of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF); since then, public funding has taken the form exclusively of thematically clearly limited special projects. The organisation states that its teams, each specialised in particular regions of origin, process around 350,000 study applications annually from over 190 countries and regions. It also maintains a service department for telephone and written support for prospective students and higher education institutions, as well as its own IT development department that creates the company's own software to support its highly specialised processes and the interfaces to all common higher education systems. A press item dated October 2024 refers to "20 Jahre uni-assist".
