Application

Not applicable for our English-language degree programmes.

When applying for the first semester of a Bachelor's programme, please first check whether the study places for the programme are allocated via the Dialogue-Oriented Service Procedure (DoSV) via the platform hochschulstart.de. You can find a list of the respective degree programmes here. If this is the case, please register at hochschulstart.de as a first step. Make a note of your BID and BAN, which you may also need for applications to other universities.

Register in the RWU study application portal. More detailed instructions can be found directly in the portal. You can then go through the online application process. Please have the relevant documents, such as your university entrance qualification, ready.

Once you have completed all the steps of the online application process, you must finally submit your application electronically. Print out and sign the application form available for download and send it to the following address within the deadline:

Hochschule Ravensburg-Weingarten, Zulassungsamt, Doggenriedstraße, 88250 Weingarten

Check your application status whenever you want in the RWU study application portal. Our admissions office will process your application as quickly as possible. If your application shows the status valid, it takes part in the selection process after the application deadline.

If you are admitted to a degree programme, you will receive an offer of admission; if you are rejected, you will receive a rejection notice or an exclusion notice, if your documents have not been received in full or are not valid for the selection procedure.

If you have received an admission offer, please download the letter of admission "Approval Document" in the RWU study application portal, which contains information of high importance.

Please also accept the place within the given deadline by clicking 'Accept Offer' and sending the provided Acceptance Form, which can also be found in the approval document.

Through downloading the Approval Document PDF in the RWU study application portal, you will be advised of the next steps and get access to further information.

The enrolment takes place personally during the Welcome Week in Weingarten. Upon successful submission of all required documents and transfer of the semester fee (and eventually tuition fees), you will receive a confirmation of enrolment.

Start of lectures in the winter semester is in October and in the summer semester in March. You can find the exact date in our calendar. There may be minor deviations from the start of lectures per study course.

Good luck!
