With the approval of the examination board, enrolment is also possible for the summer semester, although this may lead to an extension of the period of study beyond the standard period of study. In addition, you can apply for a higher study semester, provided that there are sufficient creditable study achievements and the study semester classification for which you are applying corresponds to the semester for which you have been admitted.
