Submit your application on time\ The application for enrolment via the application portal is also subject to a deadline. Please note that enrolment is not possible if the application is not submitted via the application portal within the relevant deadline.

Multiple enrolment

If you are enrolled as a major student in a teaching-related Bachelor's or Master's degree programme at another university in Berlin and have been assigned a second subject at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, you must also enrol at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin as a so-called "multiple enrollee". This applies if you have been admitted to a teaching degree programme in your first subject at one of the following universities and have been assigned a second subject at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin: Berlin University of the Arts, Technische Universität Berlin or Freie Universität Berlin.

What are your next steps?

Enrol on time in accordance with the regulations at your first university.
Then contact your second university or other universities. In the course of enrolment, you declare at which university you are exercising your membership rights. The university at which you exercise your membership rights is usually the first university at which you pay the fees and contributions for one semester (= main student body).
Please apply for (multiple) enrolment for your second subject as soon as you have completed your enrolment at your first university. This is the only way to ensure that you can register for the courses. Please submit a single copy of the following documents by post without delay.

Required documents

Fully completed and signed enrolment application for multiple enrolment,
Certificate of enrolment from your main university (with details of subjects, subject and university semester),
Copy of the second subject assignment or letter of admission from your first university (either Bachelor's degree programme or Master of Education),
If applicable, proof of extended admission requirements,
Certificate of exmatriculation from your last university (not applicable for students who are still enrolled at HU Berlin),
University entrance qualification (usually Abitur),
last university degree certificate or provisional overview of grades (for Master's programmes),
Proof of any other university degrees (as a simple copy of the respective degree certificate).

Frequently asked questions about enrolment

Can I upload only some of the documents and evidence required for enrolment and submit any missing evidence later?

All required documents and evidence must be submitted digitally via the application portal by uploading them within the enrolment period indicated. Subsequent submissions can only be accepted in justified exceptional cases and after consultation with the office responsible for your enrolment.

What happens if I do not meet the enrolment deadline?

If you do not apply for enrolment via the application portal by the deadline indicated to you, you will not be able to enrol for the relevant study place offer, even if you have accepted the study place online.

In order to prove my health insurance status, I have applied for an electronic notification (SMV) from a statutory health insurance fund. In the online status enquiry, the proof is still shown as missing. What can I do?

Contact a statutory health insurance company of your choice immediately after admission to a degree programme with restricted admission or after approval for enrolment in NC-free degree programmes. The electronic notification from the health insurance company you have contacted must be received by HU Berlin within your enrolment period. Further information on the electronic registration procedure can be found on the Health Insurance page.

HU Berlin receives daily notifications from the statutory health insurance companies, so that the status of this proof is automatically updated after receipt of the notification. If, after five working days, you notice that a certificate is missing despite the fact that you have been notified by the statutory health insurance fund, please contact that health insurance fund and arrange for your personal data to be compared with the information you used in your application. Please note, for example, any special characters in your name or other first names or surnames. If necessary, arrange for a further notification to be sent to HU Berlin by the health insurance company you have contacted.

How high are the semester fees and charges to be paid for enrolment?

The semester fees and charges to be paid for your enrolment at HU Berlin are displayed on the application portal under "Important information on enrolment and commencement of studies" or "Submit documents for enrolment". The individual amounts that make up your semester fee can be seen in the published information on the re-registration of already enrolled students. Further information can be found on the Re-enrolment page.

How can I submit individual documents and evidence for my enrolment?

Individual documents and evidence required for your enrolment can only be uploaded or submitted digitally via the application portal. Please preferably use files in PDF format and use clear file names or designations for the uploads of the documents and certificates you are submitting. If you create your own photocopies/scans, please also convert them to PDF format if possible or alternatively use common image file formats (e.g. JPG or PNG file formats). Documents required for your enrolment cannot be submitted by post or e-mail.

Do I have to apply for a double degree programme if my admission to a further degree programme is based on an outstanding first professional qualification?

There are basically three different cases:

1. students at a university outside of Berlin and Brandenburg\ If you do not wish to de-register from your previous university, but would like to remain enrolled in the Bachelor's degree programme there, you must apply for a double degree programme. Please inform yourself about the consequences of de-registration or re-registration at your previous university.

2. students at a university in Berlin or Brandenburg\ If you wish to remain enrolled at a university in Berlin or Brandenburg while enrolling at HU Berlin, you must also apply for a double degree programme. The semester fee is only payable at the university at which you are the main student and thus exercise your membership rights. When applying for a double degree programme, you must specify at which university you wish to exercise your membership rights.

If you have already paid the semester fee at your previous university in Berlin or Brandenburg and have been re-registered and wish to continue exercising your membership rights there, please submit a valid certificate of enrolment or certificate of study stating the degree programme and the number of semesters via the application portal together with the other documents and evidence required for your enrolment in order to be exempted from the semester fee at HU. The enrolment or study certificate must be valid for the semester for which you are applying for enrolment at HU Berlin.

3. students of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin\ If your admission authorisation is based on an outstanding first professionally qualifying university degree from HU Berlin, you do not need to apply for a double degree. You can skip the relevant section in the enrolment application. We already have all the necessary information about your university affiliation and the Bachelor's degree programme in which you are still enrolled.

I am enrolled at HU Berlin and would like to enrol on a new degree programme. Do I have to de-register first?

No, exmatriculation is not necessary. If you do not wish to continue your previous degree programme, please do not enter any information about a double degree programme in the application for enrolment for the new degree programme. Once your enrolment has been processed, you will only be listed in the student database for your new degree programme. If you would like to enrol for a new degree programme in parallel to your current degree programme, please apply for a double degree programme. If your application for a double degree programme is approved, you will be enrolled on both degree programmes. If a double degree programme cannot be approved, the Student Services Department will contact you to discuss the next steps.

Enrolment for cooperative degree programmes

If you have been admitted to a joint degree programme (cooperative degree programme) with one or more universities that is not related to teaching, please refer to the information on enrolment in this application for enrolment.
