Many admission-free Master's degree programs offer cross-semester admission and enrollment. With a letter of admission, admitted applicants receive information about the semester or semesters in which it is generally possible to request the enrollment.

Please refer to the overview for a list of Master's degree programs that generally offer cross-semester admission and enrollment. The overview is solely for orientation purposes. Only the information in your letter of admission is binding!

With a cross-semester admission, admitted applicants can enroll for the semester applied for or for a later semester. Cross-semester admission and enrollment therefore extends the period in which you can enroll. This gives you time to take care of necessary formalities, such as applying for a visa or entering Germany.

If you cannot be at TU Dortmund University in time for the start of your studies, you can simply enroll for a later semester using your letter of admission. You do not need to apply again for this.

Your letter of admission specifies the semesters in which enrollment is possible. Enrollment is only possible in the semesters explicitly stated in the letter of admission.

No, you do not receive a new letter of admission. The letter of admission is going to inform you in which semester respectively semesters the enrollment is possible.

To apply for enrollment, please send us your complete set of documents within the enrollment period listed above (see step 2). It is not possible to apply for enrollment before the corresponding enrollment period.

You can find detailed information about enrollment on our website "Enrollment".

If your letter of admission is no longer valid and no longer allows you to enroll for a future semester, you must reapply for a degree program in due form and time. It is not possible to extend a letter of admission.
