Admissions Procedure
After deduction of the so-called preliminary quotas (e.g., quota for foreigners, hardship cases, second degree), 20% of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average of the university entrance qualification and 20% of the study places according to the waiting time. The other 60% are distributed according to university selection quota. This also provides for a grade point average of the university entrance qualification.
The waiting time counts from the point at which the university entrance qualification is obtained. Periods of study at a German university are deducted from the waiting time.
If a decision has to be made for applicants with the same grade point average for the university entrance qualification, the waiting time is used as a second selection criterion. The same applies to the selection based on the waiting time. If a decision has to be made for applicants with the same number of waiting semesters, the average grade of the university entrance qualification is used as a second selection criterion.
The notifications of admission and the rejection notifications of the main procedure are issued approx. 2-3 weeks after the application deadline. If an application is rejected, the candidate has the opportunity to participate in a lottery. A lottery procedure takes place if there are still individual places left for the degree programme after the main procedure, the succession procedure and enrolment.
You will be informed of the enrolment deadline with the notification of admission. If you do not enrol in time, your entitlement to a place on the course becomes irrevocable. More information about enrolment can be found here.
