Last-minute cramming, October slots are still available for booking
The Higher Education Council in Germany has introduced a "study place exchange" system to help last-minute applicants secure a spot in a degree program for the winter semester. This system, accessible via the Higher Education Council's official platform, facilitates the placement of applicants into unfilled study places at universities across the country.
To navigate this system, users can take advantage of the online search and filter options. These tools enable you to search by subject area or degree program, filter by university or city, and sort by availability or last admission dates. This makes it easier for last-minute applicants to identify and apply for vacant spots without waiting for the next admission cycle.
Although the Higher Education Council's specific last-minute study place exchange does not provide a direct link or detailed explanation on its platform, it is typically connected to the centralized platform known as "hochschulstart.de" or similar portals in Germany that coordinate university admissions and the Vermittlungsverfahren (allocation procedure).
To get started, visit the official study place exchange portal:
- Enter your preferred field of study in the search bar.
- Use filters to narrow down universities by federal state or city and program type (e.g., bachelor's, master's).
- Check the listings for available spots that are updated regularly.
- Submit your application directly through the platform or follow university-specific instructions.
It's important to note that universities publish their offers for the study place exchange after completing their usual admission and late application procedures. The application deadline for short-notice applications in the study place exchange is October 31.
The study place exchange provides crucial information about the respective degree program and contact details for each program. Additionally, it is not limited to specific types of degree programs.
If you require specific links or detailed guidance on using the exact online tool, you may want to visit the official German university admissions site or the DAAD website for the most current procedures related to study place exchanges and last-minute admissions.
Despite the Higher Education Council's platform not directly explaining the connection, the study place exchange is usually linked to the centralized platform hochschulstart.de or similar portals in Germany, facilitating the application process for online education and self-development, such as online-education and learning, in unfilled study places at universities, even after the standard admission deadlines have closed. Last-minute applicants can visit the official study place exchange portal, use the search and filter options to find vacant spots in their field of interest, and submit their applications online.
