Applications

Not applicable for our English-language degree programs

When applying to start a bachelor's program, please first check whether the desired program utilizes the Dialogue-Oriented Service Procedure (DoSV) application portal on the hochschulstart.de platform. You can find a list of the degree programs which use this portal here. If the program you would like to apply to does use the DoSV portal, please register for it at hochschulstart.de. Make a note of your BID and BAN, which you may also need to apply to other universities.

Register for the RWU student application portal. More detailed instructions can be found directly in the portal. You can then go through the online application process. Be sure to have all necessary documents handy, such as your university entrance qualification.

Once you have completed all the steps of the process you can submit your application electronically. Do so, but then also download, print out, and sign the application and mail the physical copy to the following address before the application deadline:

Hochschule Ravensburg-Weingarten

Zulassungsamt

Doggenriedstraße
