Application Process
We offer a rolling application process. This means that you can apply all year round. You will hear within a month of application whether you have been invited to a selection seminar or not. A few days after the seminar, you will receive either an offer for a study place or, in the unfortunate case, a rejection. If the cohort of the coming winter semester is already full, you will receive a place on the waiting list as well as a secure study place in the following year. On request, we are always happy to inform you whether there are still places available for the coming winter semester.
