Incomplete applications will not be processed; instead, they will be returned to the applicants immediately. Your application will only be considered if you resubmit it in full by the deadline for your program of choice. Any failure to resubmit an application on time shall be at the applicant’s expense.

In order to meet the application deadline, you may drop your application in the university’s mailbox at the main entrance by 12:00 a.m. (midnight).

Please be sure to note the following:

In the event that a qualification procedure (Eignungsfeststellungsverfahren), qualifying examination (Eignungsfeststellung), or aptitude test (Eignungsprüfung) is required to determine your eligibility to pursue a certain degree or study a certain subject, you must register to take the test or examination with the school or department responsible by submitting all necessary documents by the deadline indicated. Your registration to take the test or exam is not the same as the application for admission to the program.

When applying for admission to a specific field of study, the official results showing that you passed the qualification procedure, qualifying examination, or aptitude test must be submitted either as an original document or certified copy along with the rest of the application materials. (Please read these instructions!)
