For all applicants, the admissions process begins by submitting an electronic or printed application. Applicants may apply for multiple programmes, but they must submit a separate application for each programme they apply to. There is no limit on the number of submitted applications.
If applicants apply via electronic application, they are also obliged to send a printed application to the faculty. The printed application must be filled in, personally signed and include all required enclosures. An electronic application without a printed counterpart received by the admissions office is invalid.


The application must include:
- the applicant’s CV
- a notarized copy of the applicant’s bachelor’s-level state examination diploma (applies to applicants for master's programmes who have completed their bachelor’s studies)
- a copy of the applicant’s bachelor’s diploma supplement or, if they have not yet completed their bachelor’s studies, the transcript of records from their bachelor’s studies (this applies to master’s-programme applicants from other universities)
