After the Application
What are the Next Steps?
When your application has been received, your documents are checked by the International Office.
When Applying for Courses of Study with Admissions Restrictions (‘Numerus Clausus’)
When all documentation has been submitted and when both the academic and German language proficiency requirements are fulfilled, you will automatically receive precise information on the rest of the admission procedure.
Letters of admission and letters of rejection are issued after the application deadline only as the admissions procedure will not start before this date (the submission deadline for applications for the summer semester is 15 January; the deadline for the winter semester is 15 July). This means that you will be notified whether your application has been successful either at the end of January/beginning of February (for the summer semester) or the end of July/beginning of August (for the winter semester) at the earliest.
When Applying for Non-Restricted Courses of Study, the German Semester Course for Study Purposes or the Studienkolleg
When your documentation is complete and when you have fulfilled both the academic and German language proficiency requirements, your letter of admission will be sent to you directly.
Notifications of Rejection
Notifications of rejection are sent out on an ongoing basis during the application period.
