Locally restricted admission degree programs

Admission requirements by country of origin

For prospective international students who are not citizens of an EU/EEA member state and are NOT so-called Bildungsinländer (students of foreign nationality who obtained a German higher education entrance qualification), admission requirements vary greatly depending on your country of origin.

Special cases

Not an EU citizen, but a relative of an EU/EEA citizen?

If you are not a citizen of an EU/EEA member state and were not educated in Germany or at a German school abroad (Bildungsinländer), but you

live in the Federal Republic of Germany and
are a child or other family member of a citizen of an EU member state (excluding Germany) or EEA member state who is employed in the Federal Republic of Germany,

you will be treated as German nationals — in terms of admissions law —and therefore do not need to apply to the International Office, but to the Office of the University Registrar (Studentenkanzlei) under the category "Germans and Bildungsinländer".
