Dispatch Schedule for Official Notifications
Applications are reviewed one by one – first regarding formal requirements and then in terms of subject-relevant expertise. The time at which the letters of admission or rejection for your desired degree program are issued depends on when the respective selection committee meets. Only when all applications to a degree program have been reviewed can the ranking lists be compiled. Therefore, we regret that it is not possible to provide advance information.
If you applied for admission to the first semester of one of our degree programs, you can find out when our official letters of admission and letters of rejection are usually sent out in the table below.
Please note that in the case of waitlists and admission by lottery, we will only notify you in the event that you have been admitted.
