In degree programs with restricted admission, the number of places is limited. An application is required for degree programs with restricted admission. A local selection process is carried out among all applicants, with the available places being allocated according to specific criteria (e.g., average grade of the university entrance qualification, etc.). Waiting periods are no longer taken into account.


If your application is successful, you will receive a letter of admission from the KU, which you can then use to enroll.
