Application and Admission
Coronavirus Covid-19: Questions and answers for international students
Since the waiting time for a visa appointment in countries such as Iran, Nigeria, or Pakistan might be up to one year, we ask applicants from these countries to take this into account for their planning. Therefore, if possible, apply by June 15 or at the latest by September 15, 2021 for the following winter semester 2022/23. Even if you apply in March 2021 (the next possible application deadline is March 15, 2021), the time to start your studies in October 2021 is likely to be too short!
