You can apply at any time, because sometimes a lateral entry is possible. If you are interested in a specific course, we should receive the application at least four weeks before the start. Then we will start the selection process for the new course. If you meet the requirements, we will invite you to a placement test. After the written test and an interview, the scholarship recipients are selected according to several criteria (German language skills, motivation, prospects for university studies, etc.).
