EnglishHow to Find Degree Programmes and Apply on the University of Augsburg Website
Updated
The University of Augsburg website is the starting point for finding its 93 degree programmes and the application routes that follow. The homepage groups the relevant links under "Degree programmes," "International applications," and "Restricted admission programmes," and it also has dedicated entry points for international students and visiting scholars. Use those sections if you are choosing a programme or checking whether admission restrictions apply to you; the site describes programme options and application categories, but it does not publish tuition or fee details on the pages summarized here.
Start with the degree programme listing
The homepage states that the university offers 93 degree programmes across 8 faculties, ranging from the humanities and social sciences to applied computer science and medicine. The "Degree programmes" link is the main navigation entry for browsing what is available.
When you open that section, treat it as a catalogue rather than an application form. The useful checks are:
- Subject and faculty — confirm which of the 8 faculties hosts the programme, since the site organizes research and teaching by faculty.
- Degree level — the homepage separately highlights doctoral and postdoctoral support through its graduate centre and graduate schools, so bachelor's, master's, and doctoral paths are not all in the same place.
- Admission type — cross-check the programme against the "Restricted admission programmes" section before assuming open entry.
Check whether admission is restricted
The homepage lists "Restricted admission programmes" as a distinct link next to "Degree programmes" and "International applications." That separation matters: a programme appearing in the general listing does not mean it is open to everyone.
A practical sequence is to identify two or three candidate programmes first, then check each one against the restricted-admission list. If a programme appears there, plan for a competitive selection process rather than a simple registration. The site does not state selection thresholds or deadlines in the material available here, so confirm those on the individual programme page.
Follow the route for international applicants
The site separates its audience explicitly. The top of the page offers International Students, International Visiting Scholars, Media & Press, and Alumni as target groups, and "International applications" appears as its own link in the main content area.
If you are applying from outside Germany:
- Go to the International Students or International applications entry rather than the general programme pages.
- Use the Welcome Service link, which the homepage describes as support for a successful start in Germany and as information for international researchers.
- For doctoral or postdoctoral plans, go through the Graduate Center and the graduate schools and programmes instead of the undergraduate route.
The homepage also notes Erasmus+ participation and additional international cooperations outside Erasmus. That is relevant if you are coming through an exchange agreement rather than as a direct applicant — the application path differs, and the international connections section is where to confirm it.
What the site does and does not tell you
| Question | Where to look | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Which programmes exist? | Degree programmes | A listing across 8 faculties, 93 programmes |
| Is my programme competitive? | Restricted admission programmes | A separate list of restricted programmes |
| How do I apply as a non-German applicant? | International applications / International Students | A dedicated route, not the general pages |
| Who helps me settle in? | Welcome Service | Support described for international researchers and newcomers |
| Can I do a doctorate? | Graduate Center, graduate schools | Structured doctoral and postdoc support |
| What does it cost? | Not covered in the available pages | Do not assume free or paid; verify separately |
One caution: the homepage is a gateway, not a prospectus. It gives counts, faculty breadth, and research focus areas — including the Centre for Climate Resilience and the Centre for Advanced Analytics and Predictive Sciences — but programme-specific requirements, deadlines, and language conditions sit on the individual programme pages reached through the listing.
A workable order of operations
- Open Degree programmes and shortlist by subject and degree level.
- Check the shortlist against Restricted admission programmes.
- If you are applying from abroad, switch to International applications and read the International Students pages before preparing documents.
- If you are coming for research or a doctorate, start at the Graduate Center and the Welcome Service instead.
- Confirm every requirement on the individual programme page, since the homepage does not carry admission details.
The campus context is also worth knowing while you decide: the university sits on a parkland campus with its own lake on Augsburg's southern fringe, and the city is described as Bavaria's third largest with a family-friendly atmosphere near the Alps. That is background for choosing, not an application step.
