The MA NTS application portal for the 2026/27 academic year is now online!
The application period for the upcoming academic year (2026/2027) has now begun! All applicants must complete the online application form on the university's application portal (Bewerbungsportal) and then upload all their other application documents.
Relocating and planning your studies may take quite a while. To maximise the time successful applicants have to prepare, we offer two application phases. In this way, successful candidates have a maximum of time to apply for visas (which can be time-consuming) and to arrange funding, travel, and accommodation before the start of the MA NTS orientation week, likely in October 2026. Particularly applicants from outside the EU are strongly advised to apply as early as possible. The earlier you apply, the earlier you will be notified:
| Application phase | Application dates | Notification |
| 1 (Early Bird) | 4 May 2026 - 15 May 2026 | By late May 2026 |
| 2 | 16 May 2026 - 15 July 2026 | By late July 2026 |
