Special admission cases

Random selection

A policy of random selection will only be applied to nationally and locally restricted admission degree programs — allocated by the so-called Dialogorientiertes Serviceverfahren (DoSV) —, if the regular allocation process performed by the Stiftung für Hochschulzulassung (formerly ZVS) has been successfully completed and a number of study places have still not been filled or have become available again in the meantime.

Random selection is also used when study places for locally restricted admission degree programs — which are not allocated by the DoSV (at present, this concerns all restricted admission teacher education degree programs) — have been subject to LMU's regular allocation process and some places were not filled and/or have become available again in the meantime.

An application must be submitted in the required manner and by the specified deadline in order to participate.

Please note that the following links will only be activated shortly before random selection starts.

As soon as random selection has been conducted, the respective link will be activated.

Only those applicants who have been allocated a study place through random selection will be notified.

Studienkolleg (preparatory course)

There are a number of foreign secondary school qualifications that entitle students to study in that country, but not in Germany. A so-called assessment test is then necessary. At the StudStudienkolleg (preparatory course) available for universities in the Free State of Bavaria Bayern, applicants to whom this applies are prepared for this examination in a two-semester course.

The allocation to the Studienkolleg is made by the Bavarian university where the intention is to study a degree program. An application directly to the Studienkolleg is not possible.

At LMU Munich, assignment of foreign nationals is carried out by the International Office and by the Office of the University Registrar for German nationals.
