Application 1-subject bachelor programs (1st semester)
The DoSV (Hochschulstart)
The TU Dortmund University participates in the so-called DoSV of the Foundation for University Admission (Hochschulstart) for the 1st semester with its admission-restricted 1-subject Bachelor's programs. Hochschulstart coordinates the allocation of places at the participating universities. The DoSV is divided into different phases. Please note the dates and deadlines explained below.
1. Registration
Please register on the website of Hochschulstart. There you will receive an applicant ID (BID) and an applicant authentication number (BAN). You will need this data for the further application process in the campus portal TU Dortmund University.
2. Application
In the application phase, you can apply for up to twelve study preferences (as a combination of study program and university). The prerequisite for this is that you have first registered with Hochschulstart. An application is usually possible annually until July 15 (for the start of studies in the winter semester). At TU Dortmund University, the deadline applies to both new and old high school graduates.
Please note: In order to find the study offers of TU Dortmund at Hochschulstart, it is necessary that you enter either Technische Universität Dortmund or just Dortmund in the search function in the search field Hochschule. If you use the search term TU Dortmund, you will not be shown any study offers at Hochschulstart at the moment.
First information about the application in the campus portal for 1-subject bachelor programs with a numerus clausus (NC) can also be found in our information video on the YouTube channel of the TU Dortmund University.
3. Prioritization
DoSV always determines the best result for you. Therefore, it is important that you think carefully beforehand about which study preferences are most important to you and in which order they should be placed. Please check whether the applications you prefer are at the top. This is called "prioritizing" at Hochschulstart.
Information as well as information videos on prioritization can be found on the Hochschulstart website.
4. Coordination
Once the coordination phase has begun, no further applications can be submitted. Now the corresponding ranking lists for the valid applications are formed and released at Hochschulstart. This usually happens about one week after the end of the application phase.
In the course of the coordination phase, an offer of admission for one of your applications may be made at any time. If there is more than one offer, the coordination rules take effect immediately , which can have decisive consequences.
As soon as you actively accept an admission offer from TU Dortmund University or you are automatically granted admission, you will receive an e-mail with further information on how to download your admission letter. Please note that the provision can take up to 5 days.
Unfortunately, if you do not receive an offer of admission by the end of the coordination period, admission will not be possible.
