Allocation of Study Places through Lottery System

After the completion of all regular admission procedures, there may still be open spots available in degree programs with restricted admission.

The Lottery System for the Winter Semester 2025/26

On this page, you’ll find all degree programs that will have a lottery system for the upcoming semester. If your desired degree program is not listed, it means there will be no lottery system for it.

For some degree programs, the deadline to accept regular admissions from the main or waiting list process ends shortly before the lottery system begins. These programs are marked with an asterisk. You can pre-register for the lottery system in these subjects, but whether any remaining spots will actually be available for allocation will only be confirmed very late.

Important to know

You are not automatically included in the lottery system – even if you have applied previously. A separate registration is required.

Clue about the lottery system in master's programs

Whether a lottery system will be used for a degree program is determined only after the regular admission process has been completed. If there are still university places available afterward, they will be allocated through the lottery system.

If you receive notification through the lottery system, you can only enroll for this university place if the department confirms that you meet the requirements outlined in the master's degree regulations.
