Admission control at program level. Applicants must use STiNE and the procedure defined for the degree. Academic evidence, language requirements, selection rules, and application windows vary between the bachelor, state-examination, master’s, international master’s, medicine, dentistry, teacher education, aptitude and doctoral routes. Applicants must check the teaching language, entry semester, subject prerequisites, selection procedure and document route before submission. International School or University Qualifications External evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation where applicable or other proof of academic equivalence may be required. Master’s committees may ask for module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience, or interviews. Admission to doctoral studies is not the same as admission to a bachelor’s or master’s program and typically requires a viable research proposal, appropriate supervision, and formal approval by the responsible faculty.

The university does not charge general tuition for regular degree studies. The contribution for the semester for the winter semester 2026/27 is €402. This includes €352 for the student-body, transport, hardship and student-services elements and €50 for administration. The above charges do not include rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs or personal travel. Special tuition may be applied in the case of continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree or long-term study formats, if provided for by the relevant law or program regulation. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards, but each funding application is assessed independently from admission.

Career preparation is a reflection of the subject mix of the university, not a guarantyd placement scheme. Internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and a thesis developed in cooperation with an external partner can all help to improve professional readiness.
