Application and course catalog

Osnabrück University offers prospective international students a wide range of degree programs and opportunities. In addition to a wide range of mono-bachelor's degree programs and master's degree programs, you can also study a dual-major Bachelor or choose a teacher training degree program at Osnabrück University.  As part of our short-term study program, you can study as a freemover and can spend part of your studies at Osnabrück University if you do not wish to obtain a degree there.

You can also apply for the entrance examination at the Niedersächsisches Studienkolleg Hannover (preparatory course) via Osnabrück University if you have not obtained a higher education entrance qualification (school-leaving certificate) that directly entitles you to study in Germany.

On this page we show you when, how, and through which portal you have to apply depending on your origin and study goal. Please also note the information on applying for a higher semester.

Remember that your application will not be processed if you do not comply with the specified application procedures!
