Service times 

Have you ever put in time for military or compulsory community service in accordance with Article 12a of the 

German Basic Law or have you served in temporary compulsory military service for a period of up to 3 years

Yes 

No 

Prior to acquiring university admissions qualification, were you ever prevented from earning a degree

Application for a hardship case 

Are you applying as a case of particular hardship 

Yes 

No 

Please include appropriate proof to justify your application, e.g. officially certified copies. 

Please observe the following: 

2 % of the university places are reserved hardship cases and given consideration when allocating university 

places – e. g.: 81 university places are assigned to a Psychology Bachelor‘s, of which 2 %, rounded up to 2 

university places for hardship cases. 

7

One example of particular hardship would be if you suffer from a disease with a tendency to exacerbation that 

would be associated with a high probability that you will not be able to withstand the stresses of the degree 

programme (expertise by a medical specialist) and therefore immediate university admission is imperative. 

Thus, stringent rules apply. The expertise by a medical specialist should also be understandable for laypersons.
