Applications for access restricted undergraduate programmes
Applying online
Applicants who are entitled to apply directly to the University of Passau (i.e. those who don't need to use uni-assist) must apply online if they wish to join an access restricted undergraduate programme.
If special circumstances apply, the application must also be submitted in hardcopy:
If any of the following applies to you, you will have to print out your application form, sign it, and submit it with required documents to the Student Registration Office:
- You haven't reached the age of majority (18) at the time of the application. In that case, your parent or guardian must sign the document for you.
- You are applying for access arrangements
- You are applying for hardship consideration (this page is availabe in German only)
- You have already completed an undergraduate degree in Germany
- You are applying to be given preferential access (see "Bevorzugte Bewerberinnen und Bewerber" on the German Auswahlverfahren page)
- You are a member of the A-, B- or C-Cadre in a federal sports organisation that is a member of the German Olympic Sports Confederation
- You have obtained your university entrance qualification outside Germany or in a foreign school system
- Your university entrance qualification is of a type that needs to be checked by University staff. (This depends on which options you select in the online application form)
If your application doesn't necessitate a hardcopy submission, the information you provide is not checked until you have been offered a place of study and you try to enrol. However, you will not be able to enrol if the offer was based on any inaccurate information in your application, or if you are not entitled to study.
It is not possible to apply for two or more access restricted degree programmes at the University of Passau in the same semester.
