The following information explains how study places are allocated at the University of Augsburg.

The process depends on whether you are applying for the first semester or for a higher semester and whether the desired degree programme has restricted (NC) or open admission.

How can I gain a study place in the first semester?

You would like to study at the University of Augsburg, have decided which degree programme you want to study, and you now want to know how the admission process works so that you can enrol?

The process largely depends on whether you want to enrol in a restricted admission (NC) or an open admission degree programme.

How do I gain a study place in a higher semester?

You have already completed some academic study and would like to have it counted towards your new degree programme at the University of Augsburg? Here, too, it is important whether you are interested in a degree programme with open or restricted admission.

Please note that you do not need to register on hochschulstart.de if you are applying for a higher semester. Applications for a higher semester are only possible via the VIBS portal.

• Open admission degree programmes (without NC)

For degree programmes with open admission, a direct application or enrolment in a higher subject semester is not possible and also not required. You select the desired degree programme in the application portal (only the first semester is available here) and enrol in it. Please note the following information on open admission degree programmes.

After enrolment, you can apply for a credit transfer at the examinations office. If you have enough ECTS credit points, you will then be upgraded to the corresponding semester.

For open admission degree programmes, enrolment documents must be received by the University of Augsburg by 30.09. (winter semester) or 31.03. (summer semester) at the latest.
