Questions about University of Oldenburg

All applicants with an international degree apply online through uni-assist, which checks your certificates in about 4 weeks. The exception is the European Master in Renewable Energy, where you apply directly at EUREC. The admission committee of your programme usually meets within 4 weeks after the deadline, and decisions are sent by email once the admissions office is informed. If you need a visa, Oldenburg advises applying three months before the deadline.

Deadlines vary by Master's programme, so check the one for your course. For open-admission Master's programmes (not Master of Education), Oldenburg strongly recommends applying before 15 July for the winter semester and before 15 January for the summer semester.

The Admissions Office and admission committee need about 5 weeks to process an application, plus 4 weeks if you apply through uni-assist. Applying early also helps with course registration, housing and student discounts.

You come to the Admissions Office with the documents listed in your admission letter before the enrolment deadline: 1 October for the winter term and 1 April for the summer term.

For the winter semester 2026/27 the semester contribution for regular and international degree students is 457.90 EUR, including 230.80 EUR for the semester ticket, 118.00 EUR for the Studierendenwerk and a 75.00 EUR administration fee.

The Studierendenwerk Oldenburg runs residences in Oldenburg, Elsfleth, Wilhelmshaven and Emden, all within cycling distance of the universities. The cheapest rooms in shared flats cost under 200 EUR a month, and rent includes all utilities and electricity. You apply online.

Our catalogue lists 39 Master's programmes at the University of Oldenburg. 17 are taught in English, for example Applied Economics and Data Science; Data Science and Machine Learning; Digitalised Energy Systems; Neuroscience; and Water and Coastal Management.
