Which German public universities still accept applications for the winter intake in marketing, management or supply chain fields after mid-July?
Yes, several universities accept applications well past mid-July: University of Siegen's Management and Markets programme until September 30, FH Munster's Supply Chain Management until September 15, and Marburg's International Business Management until August 21. Target admission-free programmes and apply through direct portals rather than Uni-Assist to save time.
Your window for the winter intake is not closed just because mid-July has passed, since several public universities extend deadlines into August and September for marketing, management and supply chain programmes. These are mostly admission-free tracks that skip the lengthy selection process, which is exactly why they can stay open later than restricted programmes.
Universities With Late Deadlines
| University | Programme | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| University of Siegen | M.Sc. Management and Markets | 30 September |
| FH Munster | M.Sc. Logistics and Supply Chain | 15 September |
| Marburg University | M.Sc. Intl. Business Management | 21 August |
| Ruhr West UAS | M.A. Marketing Management | 15 September |
How To Apply Successfully This Late
- Prioritise admission-free programmes, since they skip lengthy numerical cap selection processes.
- Apply through direct university portals rather than Uni-Assist, which takes 4-6 weeks to process.
- Have your APS certificate and blocked account ready so your visa timeline stays realistic.
- Confirm each programme's language of instruction before applying if you need English-taught options.
My Advice
If you are applying this late, call each university's admissions office directly to confirm the deadline is still active, since these dates shift year to year. Have your documents fully ready before you apply, and treat your visa timeline as extremely tight, since an October start from an August application leaves almost no buffer for delays.
