Applicants may also be admitted to a higher semester, subject to available study places and certain conditions. Applications for a higher semester are also submitted via the SIM application portal.

The examination board responsible for the degree program must approve your enrollment in the higher semester.

Admission to a higher semester offers the opportunity to continue your studies at an advanced stage. We recommend that you complete any non-recognized coursework and exams from previous semesters at the next possible exam date, as these often serve as an important basis for subsequent exams.
 
If you require assistance in individual cases, the examination board will be happy to answer all of your questions.

You should always take advantage of an in-depth study counseling session when applying for a higher semester.

If an internship is required and you are seeking admission for the third or a higher semester, you must provide proof of the successful completion of an internship before lectures start. If your internship has not yet been completed at the time of application, please submit a certificate (Praktikantenstellennachweis) stating that you will have completed the required internship by the time lectures begin at the latest.

Having your study and exam achievements recognized

The examination board that is responsible for your degree program decides whether your study and exam achievements can be recognized after consulting with a faculty member.

Recognition is only granted once lectures have begun.
