Full-time studies
Some subjects have additional admission requirements, such as proof of language skills in other languages, passing an entrance examination, or a selection interview. You can find more detailed information on the individual requirements on the page for the respective degree program. There you can also see whether the subject is open admission or restricted admission.

If there are still places available after the last replacement procedure, these will be allocated by lottery. Applications to participate in the lottery must be submitted electronically and separately for each desired degree programme. The application period for the winter semester is from 1st September to 30th September, and the application period for the summer semester is from 1st March to 31st March.

Applications received after these deadlines will not be considered. Applicants who are not EU citizens and do not have a German Abitur certificate are not eligible to participate in the lottery procedure.

Applications for the lottery procedure must be submitted via the online application portal.
