What Does "Advanced Semester" Mean?
“Advanced semesters" are all semesters of a degree program or subject greater than 1, so if you have already studied at TU Dortmund University or another university and have previously earned credits, you can apply for the recognition of the credits and, on this basis, for placement in an advanced semester.
For many degree programs, the so-called "Studiengangjahresregelung" applies: This means that the start of studies is always in the winter semester. Consequently, within the standard period of study, students can only be placed in odd semesters in the winter semester and in even semesters in the summer semester.
There are degree programs and subjects at TU Dortmund University which are subject to admission restrictions in an advanced semester. You can find out whether there is an admission restriction for a degree program or a subject in our overview of the degree programs on offer. If you have any questions regarding the range of degree programs on offer, please feel free to use TU Dortmund University's advisory services.
