Notification of Admission
If your application is successful, you will receive notification of admission approximately one month after the application deadline. This entitles you to a study place at the university. You must then confirm that you plan to accept the place. Please return the "Declaration of acceptance" (Annahmeerklärung) on time, which you will receive along with your notification of admission. Your place will be given to someone else, under certain circumstances, if you do not answer promptly.
Your notification of admission will tell you German Language Skills > If you have not yet proven that you have sufficient knowledge of German, you will only be provisionally admitted, until you have passed the required language exam. Starting Your Studies > Along with your notification of admission, you will also receive an invitation to the Welcome Week and Introduction Week. The International Office organizes the Welcome Week especially for international students.
In this case, your notification of admission will let you know when you can take the DSH language test (Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang ausländischer Studienbewerber und Studienbewerberinnen). Additionally, you will be invited to take a one-week class in preparation for the DSH. You must register for this class. We urgently advise you to take this preparatory class.
During the general Introduction Week, which is organised by the Central Student Advisory Office (Zentrale Studienberatung) at the beginning of winter semester, some programs will divide students among tutorials and study groups. This is important, as it will be crucial for your success at the University. Please apply for your visa early enough to be able to be here for these introductory events.
