You must make a final decision as to which degree programme you wish to enrol in by clicking on “Request 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, and gain student status once you have enrolled.

Complete each page in the online enrolment process. You must upload all of the requested documents for your desired degree programme before you can submit your request for enrolment online. 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. You must have uploaded all requested documents and submit your enrolment request by that date. The Student Office will only review your documents after the status of your application is “Enrollment requested”.  

If anything is missing, information about what and by what deadline you must submit it will be available directly in StudyOhm. So, it is important that you regularly log in to StudyOhm, even after you request enrolment, to see if you have been enrolled or if additional documents have been requested. You must submit any missing documents by uploading them in the “Documents” section in StudyOhm.  

If you do not submit your documents by the deadline, you may lose your study place.

If you are still a minor when you request enrolment, you must also submit a declaration of consent from your legal guardians. Please upload this declaration of consent under “Other documents”.

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. 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.
