Compensation for Disadvantages in the Application Procedure
In the selection procedure for admission-restricted degree programmes, disadvantage compensation may be granted under certain conditions. Such a disadvantage compensation can be applied for the average grade of the higher education entrance qualification and/or for the waiting period.
Improvement of the average grade
For selection according to the average grade of the higher education entrance qualification in degree programmes with restricted admission, disadvantage compensation may be granted under certain conditions. There may be reasons which prevented the acquisition of the higher education entrance qualification with a better average grade. In this case, an improved average grade can be taken into account in the selection process.
Application
- Informal detailed statement of reasons/personal account of the facts of the case
- School report (and, if applicable, certificates and specialist medical certificates supporting the school report)
- other suitable evidence of the performance impairment. Certificates issued by bodies officially authorised to use an official seal must bear an imprint of the official seal. Copies must be officially certified.
Increase the waiting time
For selection according to the waiting period in admission-restricted degree programmes, disadvantage compensation may be granted under certain conditions. There may be reasons that have delayed the acquisition of the higher education entrance qualification. In this case, an earlier date of acquisition of the higher education entrance qualification can be taken into account for selection according to the waiting period.

- Certificate from the school stating the reason for and duration of the delay in acquiring the higher education entrance qualification
