Following the completion of the application process, you will find either an admission letter (an offer of a study place) or a rejection letter (refusal) among your downloads in StudyOhm. These documents will not be emailed or mailed in hard copy!

Please keep official letters in your files, in case you need to present them at a later date (e.g., public authorities). The Ohm will not produce duplicates.

You must make a final decision as to which degree programme you wish to enrol in by clicking on “Request online enrolment” in StudyOhm.

Now you simply need to complete your enrolment (matriculate) at the Ohm in the degree programme for which you have received an offer of admission that you have accepted online. You will only become a member of the Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm (the Ohm), and gain student status once you have enrolled.

You must first enrol online in StudyOhm. After you have completed your online enrolment, your binding enrolment application will be available in StudyOhm in PDF format. The most important step is that you sign this form and submit it by the deadline. Submit your binding enrolment application to the university, together with all of the documents referred to therein, by the deadline set out in your admission letter. Please do not submit any more or any fewer documents than have been requested. More information about enrolling is available on this webpage.

If you are not able to submit your enrolment documents to the Ohm within the specified timescale yourself, you are permitted to instruct another person to carry out your enrolment on your behalf. Please include a simple power of attorney with your documents (e.g., I hereby authorise Mr/Ms ... to perform the enrolment activities for the ... degree programme on my behalf). However, you and the person you have instructed should bear in mind that any failure by the authorised representative may lead to exclusion from the application process in the same way as if you had committed the failure yourself.

If you are not yet of legal age at the time of enrolment, you must ask a parent or guardian to sign your binding enrolment application.

Following the timely receipt of your documents and once they have been checked, you will be enrolled at the university and will receive your login details for the university’s IT systems. This information will be available on the home page of your applicant account. You will find your confirmation of enrolment in StudyOhm once you have logged in with your new login. After you receive your login, you must upload a profile photo at the latest 3 weeks before the semester starts so that your student ID card (OHMcard) can be produced. You will receive your OHMcard during the first week of the semester from your Faculty.
