Dialogue-oriented Service Procedure (DoSV) for subjects with local admission restrictions
The application process comprises two steps:
1. Register in the hochschulstart portal. You will then receive a BID (applicant identification number) and a BAN (applicant authentication number).
2. Apply via the Heinrich Heine University application portal, stating your BID and BAN.
Further information can be found in the checklist (German only).
Applicants who are still minors at the start of the lecture period (see here for lecture period dates) may be considered in a special quota under certain circumstances.
If you are still a minor at the start of the lecture period and registered at your parents’ principal residence in one of the following cities/districts, please also submit a current proof of residence certificate (German only):
- City of Düsseldorf
- City of Duisburg
- District of Mettman
- Rhine District of Neuss
- You can find further applicable cities and districts here (German only)
Applicants who have already completed a degree in another subject at a German university must upload their degree certificate and a written statement explaining why they wish to apply for a second degree to the application portal before the application deadline. Generally, the same criteria and rules apply as for the study programmes awarded via hochschulstart. More information is available here (German only).
