In the event that study places in degree programs with restricted admission (with Numerus Clausus) have not been allocated after the completion of the admission procedure, these study places will be allocated using a lottery system.
If there are still places available in bachelor's degree programs with restricted admission, a lottery will be held directly at TU Berlin for the first semester.\ TU-specific lottery procedures will only take place if places remain unfilled after the regular allocation procedure.
For the summer semester 2026, a TU lottery system will take place for the first degree semester in the degree programs mentioned below:
- Maschinenbau
-
Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen
-
Applications can be submitted via the TU Berlin application portal until the end of the respective application period and are paperless and online.\ Note on re-enrollment at TU Berlin:\ If you were previously enrolled at TU Berlin and would like to reapply for the same degree program with the same study and examination regulations after a previous de-registration, then you are a re-registrant. To re-enroll, you will always need a degree semester placement from the relevant examination board at TU Berlin.\ If you apply for re-enrollment in the first semester, enrollment is only possible with a degree semester placement in the first semester. If you receive a degree semester placement for a second or higher semester, enrollment in the first semester is not possible.\
