Specific application deadlines apply to all degree programs at the University of Bonn. They can vary from one program to another. If you have chosen an undergraduate degree program (bachelor’s degree, State Examination, Church Degree), its application deadline will depend on whether or not it has restricted admission. Some postgraduate degree programs have individual rules, which you can find on their web pages. If you come from a non-EU/EEA country and are not considered [equivalent to a German applicant](https://www.uni-bonn.de/de/studium/bewerbung-zulassung-und-einschreibung/gleichgestellte-internationale-bewerber-innen " Gleichgestellte internationale Bewerber*innen")1 on any other grounds, you will usually have different deadlines to meet.
You can find all other semester dates and the academic calendar on this [webseite](https://www.uni-bonn.de/de/studium/studienverlauf/semestertermine "Semestertermine")2.
