After the application

If I am offered a place, what then?

After the aptitude test, applicants usually receive a notification within three weeks. This contains the examination result and, if the aptitude test has been passed, indicates the possibility of enrolment. Enrolment is only possible for the semester specified in the notification.

You can accept or reject the enrolment offer in the portal. This must be done within the deadline communicated in the notification. You can then enrol by the deadline (for the summer semester by 28 February). If you do not wish to accept the place or do not re-enrol before the deadline, your place will be offered to other applicants.

Which documents are necessary for enrolment?

The following documents must be uploaded directly to the portal for enrolment:

proof of payment of the current semester fee
proof of payment of other fees and contributions due in connection with your studies
proof of health insurance in accordance with the Student Health Insurance Notification Ordinance of 27 March 1996 (BGBl. I. p. 568), as amended, or proof of exemption from statutory health insurance by means of the electronic registration confirmation from your health insurance company (registration reason M10)
any missing proof of university entrance qualification, a university degree or proof of language proficiency
the notice of de-registration from the previous university in the event of a change of university
