If you are still interested in the programme, please enquire about the possibilities of a lottery procedure.

Differences to DoSV status information

(relevant for applications for single-subject Bachelor's degree programmes with restricted admission in the 1st semester of study)

During the application phase, the status information on the portals differs as follows:

Web UPB

Web Hochschulstart

abgeschickt (sent)

eingegangen (received)

empfangen (received, technically accepted)

eingegangen (received)

empfangen (received, released for ranking)

gültig (valid)


Once the ranking lists have been released on hochschulstart.de, the status information on both web portals is identical. Status changes are possible at any time and result, among other things, from the actual allocation or (non-)acceptance of places. On hochschulstart.de, the status is explained in more detail via the i-button next to the application status.
