Bachelor's degree and teacher training programmes without entry restrictions and the state-examined degree programme in law

If you meet the academic requirements to begin studying at a university, you may enrol directly and you do not need to first apply for admission. Note: Some degree programmes only start in the winter semester. For information on starting dates, please refer to the web page that lists the degree programmes currently offered.

Online enrolment is conducted via the SIM application portal during fixed enrolment periods:

  • early June until 30 September (for winter semester entry)
  • early December until 31 March (for summer semester entry).

  • Proof of German language proficiency at the required level
  • Valid identity document (identity card or passport)
