If you would like to apply for a German-language study programme at Marien University Hospital & School Gelsenkirchen as a foreign national, you must upload one of the following certificates with your application:

The “Zertifikat telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule” (= telc German C1 university certificate)

Under certain circumstances, you may be exempt from providing proof of German language proficiency. Please check our Rules for Proof of Language Proficiency for Admission to Studies at Marien University Hospital & School Gelsenkirchen (German only). [CYC1]
Applicants who have been admitted to a numerus clausus study programme by the Foundation for University Admission (e.g. EU citizens), only need to provide a German language proficiency certificate on enrolment at the University.
If you are applying for an English-language degree programme, please ask the specific department what proof of language proficiency is required. This proof must also be submitted with your application.
If you have applied for a subject with restricted admission, you will be notified of admission or rejection after the application deadline has passed. The deadline is usually 15 July for the winter semester and 15 January for the summer semester. The first admissions are usually sent out around the beginning of August (for the winter semester) and around the beginning of February (for the summer semester). If a waiting-list or clearing procedure is subsequently launched, the admission process may take until the beginning of the new semester under certain circumstances.
You can generally find everything you need to know about the processing status of your application under “Your applications” in the application portal. Please refrain from sending inquiries.
