These instructions describe the enrolment process for admitted Master Students with Non-German university entrance entitlement.
You can only apply for enrolment if you have already been admitted.

You can apply for a change of programme by using the designated form (Application for change of course of studies (pdf)). You need to be re-registered before you apply for a change of programme. Please enclose your admission/acceptance letter and send both documents to international.study@uni-goettingen.de or provide them in person during our opening hours. You do not have to consider the following information.

Please use the so called "Masterergänzungsportal" for steps 1 to 3. You do not have your registration number anymore? Please contact your master's programme.

Fill in the online enrolment form and submit your form data electronically. You will then receive a registration number and a second confirmation email with a link to the upload portal.
Upload the requested enrolment documents and please make sure to choose the correct document type. Please click "binding submission" in order to finalize the process. Please do not send these documents by mail (post)!
- Admission/Acceptance letter which you have received from the faculty or graduate school

- If required, certificate of de-registration/certificate of previous study periods at a German University

Please transfer the semester fee in due time to the university bank account. Your enrolment can only be finalized once we have received your payment. Please fill in your registration number and full name as reference!
In order to complete your enrolment process, we need confirmation of your insurance status from a German statutory health insurance.
Please contact a German statutory health insurance company and establish your insurance status in Germany. The health insurance company will then automatically report your status to the University. If you are privately insured, please also contact a statutory health insurance company so that they can send a report on your exemption to us. Without this electronic notification of health insurance enrolment is not possible! You can find out more information about health insurance in Germany here.
We will process your documents and, if possible, finalize your enrolment. Should we require further documents, we will contact you. When all documents are complete and payment can be verified finalizing your enrolment usually takes two to three weeks, after which you will receive an automatically generated mail with information about your Student ID and how to begin your studies.
