Application & enrolment

Is your desired degree programme marked "free admission"? Then there is no limited number of places in the degree programme.

If you have a university entrance qualification that is valid for universities (e.g. general higher education entrance qualification), you only have to enrol within the enrolment deadlines and then you can get started! There is no selection procedure.

The good news is that many of our degree programmes are free admission.

For degree programmes with an aptitude assessment procedure, a more detailed application is required by a certain deadline. Here, certain documents are often required, e.g. curriculum vitae, presentation of competencies specific to the degree programme, etc.

There are different procedures in the selection process for different degree programmes. In some cases, admission can already be granted through preliminary selection on the basis of good grades in the transcript of records. In many cases, you will be invited to a selection interview; in the end, your Abitur grade and the grade awarded at interview will always be added together.

The good news is that it's up to you. Places are not limited. All you have to do is meet eligibility standards.

If you have passed the procedure, you will receive a notice of aptitude and can enrol during the matriculation deadlines.

Here the number of study places is fixed before the admission procedure. As a result, applicants corresponding to the number of places are selected primarily according to the criterion of the Abitur grade. The NC (numerus clausus) is determined at the end of the procedure. It is NOT set before the start of the procedure.

You have to apply via hochschulstart.de and via the University of Bayreuth by a certain deadline.

If you have been admitted, you must enrol by the deadline stated in the admission letter, otherwise the place will revert to the University, which will reallocate it.

If you choose a teaching degree programme with English, you must successfully complete an aptitude test in English at the University of Bayreuth before enrolment, for which you must register by the deadline.

If you choose a teaching degree programme with sport, you must have passed the Bavarian sport aptitude test (or a recognised equivalent) before enrolment, for which you must register by the deadline.
