Allocation procedure for admission-restricted Bachelor's degree programs
The allocation procedure for admission-restricted Bachelor's degree programs has changed fundamentally for the summer semester 2021. Study places are now allocated according to the following main quotas
- 36% of study places purely according to the grade of the higher education entrance qualification (HZB)
- 3.2% of study places to those with vocational qualifications and
- 60.8% of study places according to the grade of the HZB reduced by the waiting time
Consideration of waiting semesters in the NC procedure
Only within the above-mentioned quota of 60.8% will the grade of the higher education entrance qualification be improved by 0.1 per waiting semester. A maximum of 7 waiting semesters can be taken into account.
Each semester in which you were not enrolled at a German educational institution after obtaining your higher education entrance qualification (Abitur) counts as a waiting semester. A calendar year comprises two waiting semesters (summer semester and winter semester).
One example:
An applicant has obtained her university entrance qualification with an Abitur grade of 2.0, but does not receive a place due to the high NC. After two waiting semesters, she is then included in this quota with a grade of 1.8.
It is important here that applicants continue to only state their HZB grade according to their certificate and the date on which they obtained their HZB in the allocation procedure during the application. No grades may be calculated.
Priority will no longer be given according to the waiting period.
