Bachelor courses with local admission restrictions (Orts-NC)
Other study programmes with local restriction can be found here.
Next to study programmes without any admission restrictions and subjects with nationwide restricted admission there are also those study programmes which are only offered with restriced admission at certain universies - with so-called local admission restriciton ("Orts-NC"). The study places for these programmes with local admission restriction will be awarded to applicants after having taken the "pre-quotas" (e.g. for applicants for further studies and Non-EU applicants) into consideration. The selection criteria are the "Abitur" mark and the waiting time.
Special case requests

(the same criteria apply as for study programmes with nationwide restricted admission):
- Information about hardship case applications

Your waiting period after completing your Abitur school-leaving qualification is calculated automatically. Please do not submit any vocational training certificates.

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):
