German citizensInternal university selection procedure

Formal applications must be made for subjects with a university-internal selection procedure. The applicants’ aptitude and motivation for the chosen degree programme and future career is a crucial factor in the selection procedure.

In concrete terms, this means that in addition to the average final grade as stated in the school leaving certificate, applicants’ grades in German, mathematics and one foreign language, as well as in subjects relevant to the chosen field of study are taken into account in the selection procedure. Furthermore, internships, extracurricular activities, and vocational training also play a role in selection. Interviews and aptitude tests may be conducted. It is at the subject’s own discretion to decide how the individual criteria are combined and weighted.
