Change of study

The application for a change of study program must always be submitted to the Student Registration Office by the Friday before the start of lectures. A personal appearance is not mandatory, you can send us the application by e-mail. Please note the deadlines to be observed. If you have applied for an NC degree program or subject, you will be informed of a separate deadline with the admission notice, in which you must accept the degree program and apply for the change.

In principle, the change of studies can only be carried out once the amount required for re-registration has been added to your matriculation number. If no payment has been received yet, the application cannot be processed at this point.

If you are already studying at TU Dortmund University and have been admitted to an NC degree program, please submit the signed admission together with the completed application for change of studies - within the deadline stated in the admission notice.

Change to master's degree programs

Separate deadlines for changing to a master's program apply. These vary depending on the faculty and the degree program. You can only change to a Master's degree program once you have obtained your Bachelor's degree. If your Bachelor's degree is available in the central examination administration, you usually do not have to provide any further proof. In the case of study programs that are supervised decentrally in the faculties, proof of the bachelor's degree (e.g. confirmation from the examination board or the bachelor's certificate) must be enclosed.

Change to doctoral studies

Transferring to a doctoral program is possible at any time. Please see the following information regarding doctoral studies.
