Cut-off dates

Cut-off dates cannot be extended. If you fail the application/enrolment deadline, the application/enrolment will be denied. In case of enrolment in a restricted degree programme, your admission will be revoked and your study place will be granted to the next candidate on the ranking list.

If a given deadline happens to fall on Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it does not extend to the next working day. The deadline always end at midnight on the indicated day.

If you send us documents by post, please remember that it won't reach us on the same day. To meet the deadline, only the date of receipt of the documents at the University of Münster counts, not the day on which you posted the documents. If possible, ask your postal delivery service for a deposit receipt just in case your documents are exceptionally lost.
