An application must always be submitted by the deadline, even for degree programmes without admission restrictions . For admission-free 1-subject bachelor's degrees or fully admission-free combined bachelor's degrees, you will be automatically transferred to online enrolment after applying. In the case of admission-free master courses, you can only enrol after successfully passing the access examination.
Note: It is relevant that the value date for the transfer of the semester fee is on time.
Please submit your application after you have received your school leaving certificate. You will only officially obtain your higher education entrance qualification (HZB) when you receive your school leaving certificate. There are no disadvantages if you apply later, as the date of receipt of your application is not relevant for the allocation of places. Only the application deadlines are relevant in this case.
