.....Would you like to apply with previous studies?
Irrespective of whether you are seeking to change university or subject, a prerequisite for admission to a higher semester is that a corresponding declaration to check a placement in a higher semester is submitted with the application. For applicants who are already enrolled in the same degree programs (identical in terms of subject and degree), the examination will also take place without the submission of a declaration for a placement test!
All suitable documents must be submitted for the examination. On the basis of the total of recognizable study and examination achievements from previous periods of study, you will be placed in the appropriate semester and the result of the examination will be displayed in the application portal. Only examinations already taken will be taken into account for the classification.
Please note that once you have submitted your application, it is no longer possible to make any subsequent changes.
Placement in the 1st semester
There are not enough credits that can be recognized for placement in higher semesters.
However, it may be possible to have individual achievements recognized. An application for recognition can be submitted after enrolment under "Recognition of examinations already taken "
Placement in a higher semester
The examination of the recognizable achievements in the desired degree programs resulted in a placement in a higher semester.
Please note the following points:
- the application will be adjusted by the HWG Ludwigshafen according to the classification.
- For some degree programs, there is a numerus clausus for the higher semester if there is an admission restriction, it must first be checked whether there are any free places in the semester you have been classified for after our students have re-registered.
- the allocation procedures take place outside of Hochschulstart (DoSV) in the internal application portal. The application submitted via hochschulstart.de will therefore be withdrawn.
- Please note that classification does not constitute recognition of your previous examination results. You must apply for this after enrolment under "Recognition of examination results already achieved".
- A classification may have consequences for your BAföG entitlement.
If you are still unsure whether you would like to submit a declaration for a placement test and whether you can receive a placement, please contact the program manager responsible for your desired degree program. You can find the contact by selecting your desired degree program via our degree program overview and switching to the "Contact" section.
or, if you have any questions about the procedure, please contact the SSC application management directly.
