The application portal for the entrance examination for the summer semester 2026 will be activated on
1 October 2025 for your application until 1 November 2025 at 11:59 pm.
The application portal will then be closed automatically; later applications are no longer possible.
Application documents, which must be submitted in writing, must be submitted in writing by post no later than 4 days after the application deadline. When sending application documents, we generally recommend a method of dispatch with tracking, e.g. registered post. Please note that it is not necessary to send the documents in writing for every degree programme.
From the application for the summer semester 2025, the instruments that can be applied for will be divided into degree programmes with a video preliminary round and degree programmes without a video preliminary round.
