University of Wuerzburg Acceptance Rate 2027: What the Numbers Really Mean

The University of Wuerzburg acceptance rate is one of those figures students search for and rarely find in a reliable form. We checked the university’s admission, thresholds, and student-statistics pages, and none of them gives one overall percentage. This isn’t an oversight. Admission here is decided program by program, so a single University of Wuerzburg acceptance rate would hide more than it shows.

• Enrollment numbers: As of 9 October 2025, 25,295 students were enrolled, including 2,998 foreign students (11.8%).
• New students: 2,736 first-year students had enrolled for winter semester 2025/26 at that point. About 3,500 new students were expected across the 2025/26 academic year.
• Admission thresholds: For restricted programs, the university lists the cut-offs it applied each semester.

Enrollment counts people who joined, not people who applied. You can't turn those numbers into an acceptance rate, so we don't try.

The next sections cover what you can check: deadlines, thresholds, and requirements for your program. Our Study in Germany guide covers the wider process.

For the University of Wuerzburg acceptance rate for international students, the process matters more than any percentage. It has two separate applications, and mixing them up is the easiest way to lose a semester.

Here is the route from VPD to the admission letter:

1. Check whether you need a VPD. International applicants usually do. The university can't accept a VPD requested for another university or a uni-assist test report.
2. Request the VPD at uni-assist. The university advises allowing 6 to 8 weeks for processing, while uni-assist typically states a timeframe of 4 to 6 weeks. The VPD stays valid for one year, whichever semester you apply for.
3. Apply to the university separately. Upload the VPD with your documents. Most programs use the WUESTUDY portal, while some use the faculty.
4. Meet the deadline of receipt. Your documents must arrive by the date, not be sent by it.
5. Wait for the admission letter. It comes only if your application is successful for the program. Uni-Assist doesn't replace this application.

My insight: Count backwards from your deadline. If you're aiming at a 15 March deadline, request the VPD by mid-January at the latest. For 15 July, make it mid-May.

Some programs admit all applicants who meet the requirements. Others have more applicants than seats and rank them. The admission thresholds page shows which is which for restricted programs, and it is the closest thing to a University of Wuerzburg acceptance rate that the university itself publishes.

On the German grading scale a lower number is a better grade, so 1.5 sits near the top. Check how the university converts your own degree grade before you read too much into a threshold.

If you're applying from India, English-taught programs are the most realistic option. They matter more than the University of Wuerzburg acceptance rate, and they come with their dates. The table below comes from the university's master's list. Some rows still state the 2025/26 period, so confirm the current dates before you plan.

The dates are deadlines of receipt, and the levels are CEFR levels. Check which certificates a program accepts before booking an English test.

My insight: Programs at the same university may ask for either a B2 or a C1 level. If your English score is already fixed, choose by language level first and by topic second.

Indian applicants have a few extra steps in addition to the university's own process.

APS certificate (before the VPD): The APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) verifies your academic documents. For applicants from India, uni-assist's guidance says the APS certificate must go with the VPD request. Since Würzburg asks most international applicants for a VPD, plan on having the APS first. It is also on the German Embassy in New Delhi's student visa checklist. Processing time varies, so allow at least four to six weeks and more in peak months (March to June). Confirm the exact order on Würzburg's VPD page before you submit.

dMAT (only for some master's applicants): The dMAT is part of the APS process for Indian master's applicants whose bachelor's degree is in engineering (including computer science and IT), commerce, accounting, finance, economics, business, or management. It applies to the Summer Semester 2027 intake and later, so it covers the Winter 2027/28 cycle this article plans for. Bachelor's and PhD applicants don't need it. If you already hold an APS certificate, check APS India's transitional rules before you register.

See our dMAT guide for dates and fees.

Grade conversion: Convert your CGPA before you start. Our CGPA to percentage calculator gives you the number, though the university decides how it reads your grades.

The money is the other thing the numbers don't tell you.

Bavaria allows its universities to charge non-EU students tuition (the law has permitted it since 2023), and some universities have introduced fees. Würzburg's enrollment page states that there are no tuition fees, but fee-based programs such as the LL.M. are the exception. Check your own program page before budgeting.

My insight: Indian applicants lose the most time on the paperwork queue (APS first, then the VPD), not on the university. Start both in the same month you shortlist programs.

Your chances depend less on the University of Wuerzburg's acceptance rate and more on the program you choose.

If you are a final-year BTech student graduating in 2027

Look for English-taught winter-semester programs with a deadline of 15 March or 15 July. Start the VPD early, and keep a strong statement of purpose ready.

Our SOP for masters guide helps with that.

If you are aiming for a restricted program, such as psychology

Treat it as competitive. In summer 2026, applicants with a bachelor's grade of up to 1.5 were admitted to the clinical program. Apply to at least one other open program alongside this one.

If your English score is still pending

Start with the B2 programs and apply for the later deadlines, such as 15 July. Programs that require C1 will ask for a stronger result.

Planning for Würzburg means planning around dates and paperwork.

Lectures for the winter semester 2025/26 started on 13 October, so expect a mid-October start. The calendar below assumes you graduate in mid-2027. Some dates come from the 2025/26 cycle, so confirm them for 2027/28.

My insight: Aim to apply well before 15 July. The dates are deadlines for receipt, and an incomplete file is one of the two problems mentioned in the university's FAQ.

A strong file can still miss a restricted program's cut-off. Here is what to do next.

• You missed a deadline. Many programs have two admission windows each year. Chemistry, for example, has a winter window and a summer window from early December to 15 January.
• Your documents were incomplete. The university's FAQ names incomplete documents and late applications as the two common problems. Fix the gap and apply in the next period.
• Your English level is below the required level. Move to a program that requires B2 instead of C1.
• A restricted program says no. Apply to open programs alongside it next time.
• Your VPD is delayed. Contact uni-assist early, because you can't apply to the university without it.

1. Treat any single University of Wuerzburg acceptance rate as an estimate, because the university publishes thresholds, not one percentage.
2. Pick the program first, then check its deadline, language level, and VPD requirement.
3. Apply well before the date, with a complete file.
