Application process

The application process is the same for all students regardless of disability or illness.

A prerequisite for admission is proof of the "Allgemeine Hochschulreife" (or other valid admission qualifications such as a special professional qualification). In the case of subjects with restricted admission, an application is also made via the standard admission procedure (www.hochschulstart.de).

If you are planning to study at Trier University, please contact us as early as possible.
