We always try to process your application as quickly as possible. In our experience, the majority of the applications arrive towards the end of the deadline. It can therefore take some time to process the large number of applications.

Please note that you are responsible for ensuring that all your application documents are submitted by the deadline. When posting your application, it is advisable to use registered post.

As soon as your application has been processed, any missing documents will be listed on the  “start page” tab in the online application portal of the University of Applied Sciences Rosenheim . It's important that you look at the relevant information sheet for deadlines to submit these documents.

Applications for cases of hardship are only relevant to degree programmes with restricted admission.
A case of hardship exists when the applicant is personally affected by social or family circumstances which urgently require that they commence their studies immediately; i.e. when their personal situation means that delaying their studies – even just for one semester – would be unfair/ unreasonable (e.g. because of illness).

Hardship case applications must be submitted to Student Administration in full by 15 August for the winter semester. The hardship case application consists of an informal digital application as well as the relevant supporting documents and/or medical evidence. Cases of hardship are subject to very strict requirements.

The waiting period includes all the semesters between obtaining a higher education entrance qualification and commencing studies at a German university. Periods spent studying at a German university are detrimental to the waiting period, i.e. these periods do not count towards the total waiting period. In addition, only full semesters can be taken into account.

The waiting period is calculated automatically and does not have to be additionally applied for.
Waiting period semesters do not improve your average grades!

Applications to improve your grades and/or waiting period are only relevant for Bachelor's degree programmes with restricted admission.

This special application offers you the opportunity to explain the circumstances that prevented you from gaining better grades and/or achieving your higher education entrance qualification sooner.
In order to improve your grades and/or waiting period, please submit a school report from the school where you gained your higher education entrance qualification to Student Administration no later than 15 August.

Where applicable, a medical certificate may be required.

An application for preferential admission can be made if you have already been granted admission to the same degree programme the previous year, but were unable to take up the university place due to national service (e.g. military or civil service, or a voluntary social or ecological year) or due to starting work as part of a combined study/vocational training programme.
In such a case, please submit a copy of your letter of acceptance from the previous year (as well as proof of your activities, where required) to Student Administration by 15 August.

Generally speaking, vocational training starts one year before commencing studies.
In order to plan safely, we therefore recommend that you already apply to the university one year before commencing your studies.

Please include the training agreement and supplementary agreement for the combined study/ vocational training programme as part of your application to Student Administration by 15 August. If you are allocated a university place, please do NOT commence your studies this semester. Please register and apply again next year and submit an application for preferential admission. Include your previous letter of acceptance as proof. As such, you will not be part of the regular admissions process, but will be treated preferentially. Your university place is safe!

You can see the result in the online application portal. You will be notified by e-mail immediately if your status changes. You will also receive written notification several days later by post.

As a rule, application for enrolment via the University of Rosenheim’s applicants’ portal must take place no later than 31 August (navigation button "apply for enrolment"). However, it is essential that you adhere to the instructions in the letter of acceptance and the applicants’ portal, and the deadlines contained in them.
