The exact arrangements for obtaining a place on your chosen programme depend on the admissions procedure at the respective higher education institution. In any case, you should ask the institution about the key dates and deadlines for applying, registering and enrolling well in advance. Programmes in the artistic, musical, design or sports areas generally require you to undergo a separate admission procedure.
If you have found a degree programme, you should check whether admission to the course is restricted or not.
