Have you already studied and would like to switch to us or change your subject internally? You can find all the details about the application procedures here.

Please note that technically you always apply for the 1st semester (FS) in the online portal first.

Examination for placement in a higher semester:
Irrespective of whether you wish to change university or subject, you must submit a "Declaration for examination of placement in a higher semester" as part of your application in order to be admitted to a higher semester.

• Automatic examination: If you were already enrolled in the same degree programs (same subject and degree identical), the examination/classification will be carried out without submitting a separate declaration, in the continuing semester (provided this is still offered).
• Documents: Please submit all required documents for the examination. The classification is made on the basis of the recognizable achievements from previous periods of study. The result will be displayed in the application portal.
• Examination: Only achievements already completed/assessed will be taken into consideration.

⚠️ Note: Once you have submitted your application, it is no longer possible to make any subsequent changes. Therefore, please check your details carefully!

Special feature for new degree programs
(Here you are applying for a new degree program!)

For all new degree programs starting from winter semester 26/27, it is not possible to be placed in a higher FS.

Exception: If you were enrolled in the previous degree program and would like to continue your studies in the previous degree program after an interruption, please submit the "Declaration for consideration of placement in a higher semester".
