Places on unrestricted degree programmes are allocated solely by Kempten University of Applied Sciences.
If you meet all the requirements and apply properly and on time, you are sure to be allocated a place on a degree programme. We will confirm that you have been awarded a place, after which you can go on to enrol as a student.

You can find out more about applying for unrestricted bachelor’s degree programmes at Kempten University of Applied Sciences for Winter Semester 2023/2024 in this info brochure.

Places on our degree programmes with capped numbers (“NC”) are allocated via the “DoSV” process run by the foundation for university admissions at hochschulstart.de. The criteria for awarding places are stipulated in Art. 5 BayHZG and our statute for the local selection process .

Accordingly, places are mainly allocated as follows:
•    College or high school certificate: 80 per cent according to the average certificate grade
•    Waiting time*: 10 per cent according to the average high school / college certificate grade boosted by waiting time
•    Professional contingent**: 10 per cent according to the average high school / college certificate grade for people who have already completed relevant vocational training.

After the deadline for submitting applications, all applications are ranked according to these criteria. Starting with the applicants with the best grades, offers of places are made in descending order until the maximum number of admissions to the programme is reached. Everyone is automatically included in all contingents for which they qualify.

We can’t predict the specific grades that will qualify for a place on such a degree programme, as we cannot predict how many people will apply and what grades they will achieve. To help you gauge your chances, you can consult the grades that have applied in previous years.

You can find out more about applying for bachelor’s degree programmes with capped numbers at Kempten University of Applied Sciences for Winter Semester 2023/2024 in this info brochure.

Bachelor’s degree programmes with capped numbers at Kempten University of Applied Sciences:

* Waiting time? For each half year that you wait after qualifying to study at university (i.e. gaining your high school leaving certificate, etc.), your average grade is boosted by 0.1 points, albeit by a maximum of 1.0 points. Any time spent at a state-run university of applied sciences in Germany doesn’t count in this regard. So, for example, if your average grade upon leaving high school was 2.5, after waiting two semesters, your grade would count as 2.3 in this case.

** Professional contingent? You can check which vocational training is considered relevant for specific degree programmes with Academic Registry . You can consult the list for the degree programme in Social Work online in the downloads section or here.
