Apply for the Winter Semester intake in Germany, which starts in October. This is the main intake with the widest range of program options.

The application window typically opens in May and closes by mid-July each year. For January 2027 entry, plan to apply between May and July 2027.

The Summer Semester intake (April start) is secondary, with fewer programs and earlier deadlines that may have already passed for 2027.

September or January: which intake can you still make?
