Trans­ition to Bach­el­or and Mas­ter Pro­grams after DSH-course

You have to actively apply for the degree programme at the International Office, while you are still in the DSH course (at the stage of intermediate or advanced preparatory DSH course)! You will be informed about the internal application procedure and get instructions during the DSH courses.

Ap­plic­a­tion to stud­ies after the DSH course and dead­lines

During the DSH course programme, active participants apply for the study place during the Intermediate II or Advanced Level with their university account in PAUL. They will be informed about the procedure within the DSH course programme.  

 

 

The complete range of courses offered by the University of Paderborn can be found here: https://www.uni-paderborn.de/studienangebot/

Not all courses start in the summer semester.

"Uni-NC" means that there are admission restrictions. There is a certain number of places available, some of which are allocated to international students in the order of their secondary school leaving grades. Admission is therefore not guaranteed!

If you click on the study program, you will always see the same structure behind it, you can look for example for counselling opportunities and see the corresponding admission requirements ("Zugangsvoraussetzungen"). Please read them carefully!

Aptitude tests for the coming semester: http://www.uni-paderborn.de/zv/3-3/formalitaeten/eignungspruefung/

If you are applying for a subject you have already studied in your home country, it may be possible to get credits and admission (start with a higher semester). If this applies, please contact the International Office as early as possible but until 15.01. / 31.05. at the latest.

Significant proof of former studies is always required. In addition to the overview of taken subjects and grades, you will need to hand in descriptions of the modules and program in German or English. You can also provide a link to the corresponding page of the university that you have graduated from.

  The documents you need to submit to register will be comunicated individually after sucessful registration.
