^{These can usually be disregarded by international students.}

Please let us know, whether or not you already have studied at a university either in Germany or another country.
You can choose between these two options. Please fill in, which University you attended, which degree programme you were enrolled on and for how long.

Please don’t forget to send your application to us, once you have completed the online form.
Not all documents required for the application process have to be uploaded at the same time.
The application can also be sent to us first and then, if necessary, additional documents can be submitted,later.

What the „Kurzanleitung” / Quick Guide is all about:

• Entries that are obligatory are marked with a green star. If this mark is missing, the field can and may remain empty.
• An orange question mark indicates an input field for which you can get more information.
• And a red exclamation mark indicates a degree programme that will not begin in the next semester.

It is possible that sections that have already been filled out completely will slip back into the status "still incomplete" by filling out certain fields.
The degree programmes are displayed alphabetically, not according to the order in which they were entered.
