Admissions procedure

If you have met the general entry requirements for studying at a higher education institution – e.g. you have the general university entrance qualification (Abitur) or the entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulreife) – it may not always be possible to enrol directly onto every programme. If there are more applicants than places available, you will first need to go through an admissions procedure. Programmes that are subject to admissions procedures are either locally restricted or nationally restricted.

Furthermore, you may need to pass an aptitude test for some programmes before you can be admitted onto them. Aptitude tests are mainly required for sports science or art-related programmes. You will need to prove your aptitude for your chosen programme by taking specific, subject-related examinations.

Successful participation in the selection procedure and aptitude tests is a condition of entry to the programme.
