Selection Restrictions

If admission to degree courses is restricted , the grade (procedural grade or average grade of the higher education entrance qualification) and the number of waiting semesters (periods without enrollment at a German university or higher education institution after obtaining the higher education entrance qualification) with which the last person was awarded a study spot is determined after completion of the respective allocation procedure. Please note that a maximum of seven waiting semesters are taken into account.

Current information on the weighting of school subjects for calculating the procedural grade in undergraduate degree programs with restricted admission can be found on the page  Type and weighting of subjects.

The procedural grade determined in this way can only serve as a guide for future allocation procedures, as the selection restrictions are largely dependent on variables such as the number of applications, the respective grades achieved and the number of available study spots. No claims can be derived from this.

Here you will find the allocation criteria for admission-restricted higher semesters for the  Bachelor (B.Sc.) in Psychology, the  First State Examination in Law and  Bachelor's degree programs (two subjects).

Below you will find the latest selection restrictions since the 2021/2022 winter semester.
