Application

If you wish to enrol as a first-semester or higher-semester student in a restricted-admission degree programme, you must apply for it online.

"Restricted admission" means that only a certain number of study places are available in selected degree programmes. These limits are also designated by the Latin term "numerus clausus" (NC) which literally means "closed number".

The available places of study in restricted-admission degree programmes are allocated differently in the frist and higher semesters.
