    Enrollment

    Courses of study start each year in either the winter or summer semesters. For the following Bachelor degree programs you can only enroll in the winter semester: Jazz & Pop, Acting, Visual Theatre and Puppetry, Speechtraining/Speech Art, Elementary Music Pedagogy and Master Theory and Practice of Experimental Performance. You will be told the exact time of enrollment with your letter of acceptance. You need to comply with this enrollment term. When enrolling please hand in the following:

    • An official form of identification with a photo.
    • A certificate or some other proof of health insurance. It is obligatory for all students to have health insurance. If you do not pay your health insurance contributions you will be un-enrolled. Please tell us immediately if you change your health insurance.
    • Some proof of payment of the tuition fee. The fee consists of the tuition fee, the contribution to the Studierendenwerk and the registration fee.
    • International applicants have to ensure that they have a valid residence permit in addition to their university entry qualification. Please note this is your responsibility.

    If you fail to submit these documents as required and no later than the enrollment date, we will be able to revoke your acceptance to the university. In individual cases the rector’s decision on deadlines is final.
