Admission of students
Entrance procedure and student places
A limited number of students can be admitted to each FH degree programme. The number of students for first-time enrolment is determined by the FH Council in the administrative decision on accreditation. If the number of applicants exceeds the number of places available for first-time enrolment, an entrance procedure according to the entrance regulations will be carried out (cf. Accreditation Guidelines of the FH Council). No entrance procedure will be carried out if the number of applicants is lower than the number of available places for first-time enrolment.
Collecting charges for the participation in the entrance procedure is not admissible. This regulation applies to Bachelor's, Master's and diploma degree programmes.
The entrance procedures for the individual degree programmes may vary. In the entrance regulations for part-time degree programmes preference may be given to applicants with relevant practical experience; the head of the degree programme will determine the vocational relevance on a case-by-case basis.
Therefore, detailed information on the entrance procedure, application forms, deadlines, etc. is only available from the individual course-providing bodies or the administrators of the degree programmes.
Student places per entrance date
It is generally allowed to fill places which become available after students dropped out. The total number of student places for an entrance date results from the number of places for first-time enrolment multiplied by the number of classes. If the number of students is lower than the total number of places, the number of students that can be admitted at one particular date may be raised by the difference, provided that the resources for the degree programme allow as much and there will be no detrimental effect on the teaching quality.
Example:
4-year diploma degree programme with a maximum capacity of 50 places for first-time enrolment:
| Places for first-time enrolment: |
50 |
| Number of classes: |
4
|
| Total number of places: |
50 x 4 = 200
|
| Number of students at end of academic year: |
140
|
|
|
| This results in the difference that can be filled: |
|
| Total number of places: |
200
|
| Minus number of students: |
140
|
Minus places for first-time enrolment:
|
50
|
|
|
|
Difference:
|
10
|
|
Maximum number of first-time enrolment places in the following year:
50 + 10 = 60
In addition, up to 10 per cent more students than laid down in the administrative decision on accreditation can be admitted at each admission date, regardless of the subsidies of the Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Culture.
