You can make two applications of equal value for the first semester.

You can make one application for the higher subject-specific semester.

You will receive a notice via the Application and Enrollment Portal concerning the outcome of the selection procedure. You can stay up to date about your application status via the Application and Enrollment Portal (Bewerbungs- und Immatrikulationsportal) under the tab “My Applications”.

You should apply early for the master degree program without numerus clausus with complete documents, in order to receive an admission notification from the beginning of August.

If you apply late for a program without numerus clausus (deadline August 15), you might not have enough time to get the visa before the semester starts.

You can access current processing status for your application via the Application and Enrollment Portal on the Button "my Application" 

If you are applying for the 1st semester, a preliminary overall grade must be shown on the transcript. If this is not the case, please submit a certificate from your university confirming the preliminary overall grade.

For applications to the higher semester in the Master's program, a transcript from the Master's program already completed is also mandatory apart from the Bachelor's degree. For applications to the 2nd semester, evidence of registered courses must also be uploaded.

Applications for Master's programs are reviewed in two steps. First, a formal review of all documents takes place. After a successful formal review, the applications are released for further review by the responsible selection officers of the departments. The selection officers make the final decision on the fulfillment of the admission requirements according to the admission statutes (degree, if applicable, language skills, other achievements and certificates).
If it is determined during the formal examination that the application documents are faulty or illegible or do not meet the requirements, the application will not be forwarded to the department, but will be provisionally excluded with reasons for rejection. Some reasons for rejection are "curable" within the application deadline (e.g. a subsequent submission of higher-level language certificates to fulfill the admission requirements). Therefore, it is possible to withdraw an application within the deadline visible in the portal, revise it by adding new documents, and submit it again.
