Requirements
Application process for a study-program without limited admission.
After the Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences received your application, you will receive a letter of admission, if your application fulfils all the necessary requirements. This letter will inform you about all the information necessary for your enrolment.
If you are interested in a study program without limited admission you only need to apply for the one you prefer most. If you are eligible to study in Germany, you will be admitted to the study program of your choice, so you do not need to indicate alternative preferences.
Application process for a study-program with limited availability
After we have received your application, we will verify whether or not your application fits the formal and educational requirements. In case the number of applications exceeds availability, there will be a selection procedure based on the grade point average of the applicants.
After the selection procedure is finished, you will receive a letter of admission, or, in case you were not selected, a letter of rejection.
In case you have received a letter of rejection for a study program with limited admission, there is still a chance to be selected in an additional selection-round in case an already admitted applicant rejects or withdraws his/her application from the procedure. You participate in additional selection-round if you applied before July 15th 2011.
If you are interested in a study program with limited admission you can apply for a maximum of three of these programs and one with unlimited admission. This way, in case you are not selected for a study program with limited admission, you can still be sure to be admitted to a study program with unlimited admission (provided you are eligible to study in Germany).
