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 a first semester

Applications for the first semester lottery can only be made online via the TUCaN application portal from 25.08.24 to 15.09.24.

Please do not send informal lottery applications as these cannot be considered! Lotteries will not be held for all degree programmes with restricted admissions, depending on the number of available places. Applicants who are selected by lot will be notified by email and the relevant documents will be posted to their application account; rejections will not be sent.

Please use your existing applicant, student, employee or guest student account if you have already applied to the TU Darmstadt for the winter semester 2024/25, if you are enrolled here, if you are an employee or a guest student. New applicants have to create an account first; in the account you will find the menu item 'Application'.

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.
