Local admission restrictions with a selection procedure (ONC) apply. If the number of applicants exceeds the number of available study places, a selection is made on the basis of the final grade of the first study program. If grades are the same, places on the ranking list are decided by lot. According to the "Rules for Allocation of Study Places of North Rhine-Westphalia" (Procurement Regulation NRW) some study places are reserved for suitable applicants from non-EU/EEA states (ie outside of European Union, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway).

Application deadline is July 15th!

he course has restricted admission. A prerequisite for starting your studies is a first university degree, with the required necessary background education as determined in the exam regulations.

In brief, you need a Bachelor's degree in either Mathematics, Computer Science, Natural Sciences (e.g. Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology), Engineering (e.g. Electric, Mechanical, Computer Engineering...), Economy, or a related area. The curriculum include modules on one and higherdimensional Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Stochastics I that together comprise the equivalent of 30 ECTS and were taught at a level that corresponds to the level for computer scientists at HHU (see the FAQ for details). The examination board determines whether you fulfil the entrance requirements.

The final grade of your bachelor's degree must be between 1.0 and 2.5 with respect to the German grading system. You can convert grades to the German system by using the 'Bavarian Formula' (see right hand side).
