Welcome to Siegen!

Enrollment at the University of Siegen is done via unisono.

If you've already successfully applied for a spot in our preparatory DSH-German courses, one of our Bachelor's degrees with restricted admission or one of our Master's degrees, please log in to your account. During the enrollment period, you will find the button to access the enrollment form there.

Please note: The enrollment platform is only available during the enrollment period. The period during which enrollment will be open is stated on your admission letter.

If you still haven't obtained an admission letter, you can find more information on how to apply to the University of Siegen as an international student here: International Applications | University of Siegen

Before you can start your studies at the University of Siegen, you must book a health insurance policy. In most cases, if you wish to enroll in a degree program (Bachelor’s or Master’s), you will have to be insured through a German health insurance provider as long as you are under 30 years of age.

Please sign up for statutory health insurance as soon as possible and inform your health insurance provider that you plan to study at the University of Siegen. We will need a digital confirmation that you are insured before we can process your enrollment request. This electronic notification is called 'M10' and it usually has to be requested separately after you have booked your policy.

If you are already over 30 years old, you will need to book a private health insurance policy. Afterwards, please contact a statutory health insurance company of your choice so that they can send us the digital confirmation of your insurance coverage (M10).

If you’d like to enroll in our DSH course, you’ll need private health insurance. You’ll upload proof of your insurance later, along with the other enrollment documents, during the enrollment process on unisono.

In all cases, the following applies: The insurance start date must be no later than the first day of the semester in which you begin your studies at the University of Siegen (April 1 for the summer semester or October 1 for the winter semester), and the insurance must be valid for at least one semester.

Once you have created your unisono profile and verified your email address, you can submit a new enrollment request for our programs with open enrollment during the enrollment period. To access the enrollment platform, select the semester for which you want to enroll first, and then choose your desired program from the list.

If you’ve already successfully applied to a program via unisono, you’ll find the “Enrollment” button right next to your application. This will take you to the enrollment form, which you can fill out online.

To submit your enrollment request, please click on the button to submit the required documents after you have uploaded them during the last step. You can already find a list of the most important documents you will have to upload in our FAQs.

Once we have received both your enrollment request and your health insurance confirmation (M10), the team at the International Registrar's office will process your enrollment request. Please note: This usually takes a few days.

Once your enrollment request has been processed, you will receive a confirmation email containing important details as well as the payment information for the semester fee.

Please do not transfer the semester fee until you have received this email, and be sure to include your matriculation number as the payment reference.

Your enrollment is not complete until your payment has arrived at the University of Siegen and it has been matched to your unisono profile. You will then receive a final confirmation email with information on how to activate your ZIMT account, how to set up your student email address, and how to activate your Deutschland-Semesterticket. 

Please note: For bank transfers from abroad, this may take up to two weeks.
