Master's programs may have different application and submission deadlines than those listed above. Please refer to the degree program pages for more information.

The above deadlines are cut-off deadlines. The date of receipt, not the date of the postmark, determines the timeliness of the application.

If you apply directly to Goethe University, there are no separate deadlines for old and new school graduates. The only difference is for the nationally restricted admissions programs of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy, for which you apply to the Stiftung für Hochschulzulassung.

You do not need to appear in person.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the staff of Studium Lehre Internationales at 069/798-3838 or by e-mail at sli@uni-frankfurt.de.
