Applications for higher subject-related semesters

You can download application forms for higher subject-related semesters here (German only).

Important note: When applying for Medicine (pre-clinical phase), Pharmacy, Psychology and Dentistry, it is essential that you include the attachment.

• Special consultation session for dentistry: Professor Dr Hugger is offering consultation session appointments for the recognition of credits for applications for higher subject-related semesters (see news).
• Note for those wishing to switch universities for dentistry: HHU Düsseldorf has offered a so-called model course of study in Medicine since the winter semester 2013/14. This means that many credits for individual subjects in the pre-clinical phase are not acquired in just one semester, but rather over several semesters (topic blocks). Students of dentistry who wish to submit change of location applications for Düsseldorf should therefore be aware that the credits for the subjects chemistry, physics, microanatomy, macroanatomy, biochemistry and physiology in the pre-clinical phase of the Dentistry study programme cannot be acquired in just one semester. Instead, (regular) attendance and the successful completion of multiple topic blocks (in part over multiple semesters) is necessary.
