Application

Next semester for which it is possible to apply for: winter semester 2021/22

ATTENTION!

Changes in the study program are pending. Whether these will already be applied in the winter semester 2021/22 or only in the following semester has not yet been determined.

I.e., for non-native speakers, in addition to a language certificate for English, a certificate for German will already be required at the time of application.

(Usually: 15th April until 15th May)

Applicants from the European Union and Germany
Estimated: 01st July until 31st July 2021
(Usually:16th May until 30th June)
