When and how will the classes start in the winter semester?

As the situation in Germany - at least at the moment - seems to stabilize, we hope that the courses will start regulary in thís winter semester. The starting  date for the lectures will probably be in November (final descision to be taken by government and university officials). Our pre-courses will start in September. Why?

1. This allows us to spread the presemester and German classes over 2 month. I.e. even if you have to stay in quarantine after your arrival in Germany (at the moment everybody from a foreign country has to do this for 2 weeks), we would have sufficent time to get you prepared. Furthermore, we will be more flexible for late arrivals due to visa problems, which are also expected due to the crisis.
2. Our housing contracts with external companies start in September, which means, we have to rent the rooms also in September, if we don't want to loose them.
3. Wether the classes will start as attendance classes or partly  / fully as online courses (as we do in the current summer semester) will depend on the situation in autumn.

Can the fees be refunded in case I descide not to come due to the Corona situation?

We fully understand this question and the difficult situation you are in. However, as the fees are being used to cover only part of the additional running costs we have with this international master, a refund will not be possible in general. We try to keep the fees as low as possible!

Admission Fee: The admission fee, which is due early, cannot be refunded, as the ongoing administrative services (checking your documents, running our online portal,..)are being paid by this fee.

Housing Fee: The housing fee is used to arrange a contract between you and an external housing company. Typically, a refund is not possible once this contract has been agreed (i.e. once we give your name to the housing agency). Please be aware, that due to our contracts with the external companies the university has to pay a three month penalty if a room is not taken. Which means that the housing service also creates a huge fincancial risk for us this year.

Precourse and Enrollment Fee: At lease the enrollment fee (part) may be shifted on request to a later semester in case you cannot come (you need to have a proven reason) due to the virus situation.

We keep you informed on the situation by email and on this page.

Stay healthy!
