Please read this information closely and be sure to note all of the useful information about your degree programme and the requirements for enrolling. (Letters of admission are generated each hour, on the hour, between 8.00 am and 1.00 am Central European Time.) Please keep official letters in your files, in case you need to present them at a later date (e.g. public authorities). The university will not produce duplicates.

Uploading documents

Now you can upload and submit the documents required for your degree programme. Please have the required documents prepared in a digital format and in good quality (e.g., as a PDF) and upload them. You can interrupt the process and continue uploading documents at a later time. Please note and be sure to adhere to the enrolment deadline that is stated in your letter of admission. After you submit your documents, the system will not allow you to make any changes to them.

The required documents will include:

• A CV presented in chronological order and without any gaps, formatted as a table
• University entrance qualification (HZB):
  Depending on which university entrance qualification you are applying with, you will need to send us the final official transcript for the general university entrance qualification or the university of applied sciences entrance qualification or the master’s examination or the professional development examination (e.g. business administrator certificate) or the completed apprenticeship, together with the final official transcript from the vocational college and evidence of the three years spent in full-time employment. Information regarding the various types of university entrance qualification can be found under admission requirements.

The Student Office will provide information in StudyOhm under the section “Information for applicants” if and what additional documents must be submitted.

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 information for the university’s IT systems. The login information will be available on the home page of your StudyOhm applicant account a few days after you have been enrolled.
After logging in using your new account information, you can find your confirmation of enrolment in StudyOhm in the “Studies organisation” section.

After you receive your login, you must upload a profile photo in the VirtuOhm system 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.

Register in the hochschulstart.de application portal and obtain your BID (applicant identification number) and BAN (applicant authentication number).

The Trust for Admission to Higher Education is responsible for the hochschulstart.de portal.

You should now also register in StudyOhm and activate your personal account using the login details that have been sent to you via email. Please only open one account – you can use this single registration to apply for all degree programmes within the deadlines. If you are already enrolled at the Ohm, you do not need to register again. You can use your university login (StudyOhm login).

You can now use StudyOhm to apply for degree programmes at the Ohm that are included in the dialogue-oriented service procedure. To do this, you must enter your BID and BAN from “Hochschulstart” when you apply. It is also possible to apply for multiple degree programmes at the same time. The normal application periods at the Ohm apply. The application periods applicable to your degree programme can be found on the relevant degree programme website.

Within the scope of the dialogue-oriented service procedure, a total of 12 applications to different universities can be assigned the status “active” on hochschulstart.de. Only those applications will be included in the awarding procedure.

When applying via StudyOhm, you will be required to upload documents. Please ensure that you have the following documents in digital format and in good quality (e.g., as a PDF file) for your application:

• A CV presented in chronological order and without any gaps, formatted as a table

• University entrance qualification (HZB):
  Depending on which university entrance qualification you are applying with, you will need to send us the final official transcript for the general university entrance qualification or the university of applied sciences entrance qualification or the master’s examination or the professional development examination (e.g. business administrator certificate) or the completed apprenticeship, together with the final official transcript from the vocational college and evidence of the three years spent in full-time employment.
  If you have an “Anerkennungsbescheid” for your foreign academic credentials from the Technische Hochschule Nürnberg or from the Zeugnisanerkennungsstelle of the Free State of Bavaria, you will also have to upload it.
  
  Please only upload your final official transcript and not your interim certificates. Please also ensure that you include the page of the certificate/transcript that includes your grades so that the university can verify the date of the university entrance qualification and the grade obtained.
   
• Where necessary, additional requests and annexes (application for a second degree, hardship, etc.)

Now you can log into your account at hochschulstart.de and view all of your applications to degree programmes that are included in the dialogue-oriented service procedure. If you have applied for multiple degree programmes or to multiple universities, you must arrange these applications in your preferred order, placing the university you would most like to attend at the top.

It is extremely important that you manually arrange your applications in order of priority, otherwise the applications will simply be arranged in chronological order.

Please observe the information about prioritising on this topic at hochschulstart.de.

Offers of admission will presumably be sent out beginning in mid to late July.

Please ensure that you log into your hochschulstart.de account regularly and also regularly check your email inbox. Your hochschulstart.de account will provide you with an overview of all of your offers of admission from different universities.

More information about monitoring your applications is available on hochschulstart.de

If you have received an offer of admission from the university you wish to attend, you can immediately accept that offer or you will receive automatic admission depending on hochschulstart’s coordination regulations, in order to secure your study place. However, please bear the following in mind: Upon accepting an offer, you will be deemed to have completed the procedure and all other offers of admission and applications submitted within the scope of the dialogue-oriented service procedure will be deleted.

In the event of automatic admission to a degree programme at the Ohm, you will find your admission letter in StudyOhm.

Please be sure to take note of the details of the dialogue-oriented service procedure rules on hochschulstart.de, so that you can receive the admission for the degree programme you prefer.

If you have not received an offer for admission on hochschulstart by the end of the coordination phase, your status will be changed to ‘Rejected’. Hochschulstart will generate a rejection letter for each application with the status ‘rejected’. Rejected applications may be considered in wait-list procedures, if study places remain open.

Please keep official letters in your files, in case you need to present them at a later date (e.g., public authorities). Neither the Technische Hochschule Nürnberg nor hochschulstart will produce duplicates.

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.
