A regular degree course can be taken up if either a trial course (in degree courses that are not subject to admission restrictions) or an entrance examination (in degree courses subject to admission restrictions) has been successfully passed.

Trial studies

For other professionally qualified students, a trial course is required in all Bachelor's degree programs that are not subject to admission restrictions. It lasts 2 semesters and is successful if at least 40 credit points are earned within the first 2 semesters. Only credits earned during the trial study period are taken into account for successful completion of the trial study period. Credited achievements, e.g. from a previous degree course, cannot be taken into account.

Entrance examination

For other professionally qualified persons, an entrance examination is only required for all Bachelor's degree programs with restricted admission at the University of Siegen. No entrance examination can be taken for admission-free degree courses.
Other professionally qualified persons must take the entrance examination for these degree courses in order to have a chance of gaining a place. The entrance examination is used to determine whether the subject and methodological requirements for the specific degree course chosen are met. The examination covers general and subject-related knowledge. The examination usually consists of a written and an oral part.
With the average grade of the certificate of the passed entrance examination, an application must then be submitted for the summer semester by 15 January of a year and for the winter semester by 15 July of a year via the online portal Unisono of the University of Siegen and in some cases a registration via hochschulstart.de in order to be able to participate in the selection procedure. In the selection procedure, applicants who have successfully passed the entrance examination compete with applicants who have passed the Abitur for places on degree programs and subjects with restricted admission.
