 To the application portal HISinOne

If you have submitted your application within the above-mentioned  application period in the  Osnabrück University application portal and uploaded the application documents there, the staff in the Admissions Office of the University will check your application/documents for completeness, among other things.
Only if this check is positive overall will the relevant selection committee then decide whether you can generally be offered a place.

Admission for a study place in an admission-restricted partial study program/subject in the Master's degree program Vocational Teacher Education at general or vocational schools

If the decision of the selection committee is positive in the case of an application for a place in an admission-restricted partial degree program/subject in the Master's degree program Vocational Teacher Education, the selection committee will draw up a ranking list on the basis of which places will be allocated (main procedure). As soon as you have been admitted to the admission-restricted Master's degree program at Osnabrück University, this will be displayed in the Osnabrück University  application portal as a status change ("admission offer available").

We recommend that you always keep an eye on the status of your application in the application portal. If you have given your consent, you will receive the formal letter of admission electronically via the Osnabrück University application portal. The application portal also contains information and notes on this. We strongly recommend that you not only keep an eye on the status of your application in the application portal and your inbox there, but also keep an eye on your e-mail inbox. To be on the safe side, always check your spam folder.

Applicants who cannot be admitted due to their rank will receive a rejection letter stating their rank and the rank of the last applicant to be admitted (marginal rank). If not all study places have been allocated by the end of the main procedure, those next in rank will be admitted as part of a succession procedure.
Important to know:
Only those who expressly declare their participation in the succession procedure in the application portal will take part in the succession procedure.

Higher semester

If admission to Master's degree programs (two subjects) is restricted in the first semester, this also applies to the higher semesters. Places in a higher semester can only be allocated within the scope of available capacity. The decisive factor here is whether the places to be made available in accordance with the current Admission Number Ordinance are (still) occupied in the respective higher semester.

Please note that in the case of a valid application, you can only be enrolled in the requested higher semester if your already completed Bachelor's degree allows you access to the desired Master's degree program (two subjects) according to the admission regulations and the office responsible for you certifies a corresponding placement recommendation or crediting of previous academic achievements.

Further  information on the procedure for admission to a higher semester and the placement recommendation/credit transfer of academic achievements as well as the relevant forms can be found here.

Urgent recommendation!
Before transferring to Osnabrück University, please  contact the respective academic advisors/deans of studies to clarify which achievements can be credited and whether practical entry into the higher semester is possible without any problems or loss of time.

Application period

Here you will find the  application period for an application in the higher semester.

Application modalities

For a place in a higher semester in a Master's degree program (two subjects), you must apply exclusively via the  Osnabrück University application portal! The application portal itself explains all the necessary steps and guides you through the application process in a safe and informative manner.

Please note: In some degree programs, proof of special access and admission requirements, such as language skills, is required for admission to your degree program. You should therefore familiarize yourself with the  information on special access and admission requirements.
