Special application situations

In certain cases (illness, disability), applicants may apply for exceptional circumstances to be taken into account. This subjects you to different selection criteria.

A small number of places can be awarded to applicants who have already completed a course of study at a German university and who, for certain reasons, would like to follow up with a second course of study.

Are you planning to enter a higher semester?
