General requirements

In the case of degree programmes without NC, you can be admitted immediately if you have submitted your application in due form and on time.
In the case of degree programmes with NC, admission is only possible after the application deadline, when all applications have been received and the rankings have been compiled.
There is a special feature in the degree programmes where you have to combine several subjects, i.e. the 2-subject Bachelor's degree programmes and the Bachelor's degree programmes with a teacher training profile. Here, it is checked separately for each subject whether partial admission is possible. Only if this results in a combination that is required for a complete course of study is it a total admission with which one can enroll.
