Application and enrollment
Enrollment (enrollment)
Enrollment takes place by first entering the data required for the enrollment application online on the application portal.
Enrollment can be denied in accordance with Section 63 (2) of the Higher Education Act of the State of Hesse in conjunction with Sections 1-4 of the enrollment statutes of RheinMain University of Applied Sciences as amended if applicants do not observe the form and deadline of the enrollment application, i.e. the application is submitted late or incomplete.
Please note: The enrollment application is valid for enrollment in the first regular semester of study.
If you have already completed a number of credits, we recommend that you apply for a higher regular semester of study at the same time. In this case, your achievements will be checked for creditability during the application process and you may be able to enter a higher regular semester of study.
Submit your enrollment application by the specified deadlines at the latest. These are preclusive time limits, so applications received later will not be considered. Pay the semester fees into the account of Hochschule RheinMain.
Enrollment must be rejected if, among other things, your application is received late, the proof submitted does not meet the required form or content, or a preliminary, intermediate or final examination for the desired degree program has been definitively failed.
As the volume of applications is particularly high at the end of the deadline, it cannot be guaranteed that you will be enrolled in time before the start of lectures and that you will receive your access data to the higher education IT systems at the start of lectures if you submit your application late. You should therefore submit your enrollment application as early as possible.
In absolutely exceptional cases, the higher education institution may be forced to shorten the enrollment period for a degree program if it becomes clear that the number of enrollment applications is so high that a proper study environment can no longer be guaranteed with further enrollments. Corresponding information will be published on the homepage of www.hs-rm.de or on the online portal.
If you want to enroll in a first regular semester of study in an open undergraduate degree program, follow these steps for enrollment.
It is necessary to find out exactly what the entry requirements are - such as previous internships or aptitude tests - for your desired degree program under degree programs before applying for it.
Special features of dual computer science courses: You cannot start online enrollment directly for these degree programs. The first step is to examine whether a training/study contract with a cooperating company exists. If the existence of a correct contractual relationship has been examined positively, you can proceed with enrollment as described above. ATTENTION: The examination of the supporting documents may take some time, so it is necessary to apply for enrollment in good time.
After receipt of the complete supporting documents (including receipt of payment), you will be enrolled in the Admissions Office and will receive information about starting at the higher education institution by email. Enrollment is only possible once all supporting documents have been submitted and the semester fees have been received.
Please upload the following proofs as .pdf files together with your enrollment application in the application portal of Hochschule RheinMain:
All applicants, all degree programs
- University entrance qualification*(e.g. certificate of general or specialized higher education entrance qualification, certificate of entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences - if applicable with proof of the school and vocational part of the university entrance qualification, master craftsman's certificate)
- Electronic transfer of the insured status by a statutory health insurance company
- Proof of payment of the semester fees to the account of Hochschule RheinMain IBAN: DE59 5005 0000 0001 0076 40 BIC: HELADEFFXXX Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen, reason for payment: your applicant number your family name. The receipt of payment counts towards meeting the deadline
- Certificates of exmatriculation from all higher education institutions attended to date, stating the subject and university semesters for all semesters studied to date
- Certificate of enrollment stating the subject and university semesters for all semesters studied to date in the Federal Republic of Germany - for double degree programs
- Final proof of examination eligibility - if you were already enrolled in the same/related undergraduate degree program in Germany. A certificate is only not required if there is no doubt that the degree program is not related, e.g. Architecture and Social Work. If the certificate of examination eligibility indicates a final failed attempt, it will be examined whether admission to the chosen degree program is possible. A certificate stating that a failed attempt does not lead to the loss of the right to take examinations is also suitable.
* Applicants with an intermediate level of education and a qualified degree: Proof of university entrance qualification = a) secondary school leaving certificate + b) certificate of completion of at least three years of recognized vocational training completed after 01.01.2011 with a grade of at least 2.5.

Before you can enroll in an undergraduate NC degree program, master's degree program or a higher regular semester of study, you must go through the application process. All information on this can be found under the keyword "Application with German academic transcripts".
If you have received an admission letter that you wish to accept, you must enroll in the program within the deadline stated in the notification. The admission letter will become invalid if the supporting documents are not submitted to the Admissions Office within the specified deadline.
For enrollment, you enter the required data on the application portal(https://bewerbung.hs-rm.de/) under the button "Apply for enrollment". This will provide you with a pdf enrollment application. In the next step, this must be uploaded to the application portal together with the supporting documents in order to submit the enrollment application. The application is therefore submitted purely online.
Proof of health insurance is required at the time of enrollment. You can find more information in the health insurance information sheet.
Enrollment is not possible without payment of the semester fees.
The semester fees include the contribution to the student body, the student union, administrative costs, liability insurance, legal advice, cultural ticket, nextbike and the Deutschlandticket for students. Once the required amount has been credited to the higher education institution's account and all other required documents have been submitted, you will receive access to the certificate of enrollment and the certificate for the BAföG office via Compass.hs-rm.de after enrollment.
Simultaneous enrollment in two degree programs at HSRM is only possible if
- at most one of the two degree programs is with restricted admission (= an NC degree program) and
- they are not comparable degree programs (see below for definition of comparable degree program).
Simultaneous enrollment in more than two degree programs at Hochschule RheinMain is not permitted.
Simultaneous enrollment in two degree programs at Hochschule RheinMain and another German higher education institution is admitted as long as they are not comparable degree programs (see below for definition of comparable degree program).
Simultaneous enrollment in a Bachelor's degree program and a Master's degree program is admitted for a maximum of one semester, regardless of whether there is an admission restriction for one or both degree programs, if the admission regulations of the Master's degree program provide for enrollment subject to proof of the Bachelor's degree.
Definition of comparable degree program: Two degree programs are comparable in terms of content if they can be assigned to a common subject group according to this classification table.
