You did not receive admission to the desired degree programme in the selection procedure? Then the lottery procedure still offers a chance for admission even for those who had not previously applied for this admission-restricted degree programme.

If places are still available or become available again after completion of the allocation procedure, we allocate them by lottery. Grade and waiting time do not play a role here; all applicants drawn by lot have the same chances.

Application for the first semester

The lottery procedure for the winter semester 2025/26 is closed!

Applications for participation in the lottery procedure for a first semester were possible online until 15.09.2025

Applicants drawn by lot were informed by e-mail and via corresponding documents in their application account; no rejections were sent.

Application for a higher semester

Here you have to apply informally (e.g. by postcard) to participate in the lottery procedure. Please include the following information with your informal application:

First name, surname, postal address, e-mail, desired degree programme with indication of the semester.

Please do not submit any other application documents. If a lottery procedure is carried out, you will receive the notification of admission by post with information on any documents required.
