Admission by lottery

Did you miss the application deadline? Take your chance earning admission by lottery!

Did you miss the application deadline for a selective degree program or receive a rejection letter for your desired degree program? You may still have a chance to be admitted to Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) by lottery.

Similar to other lotteries, we draw names from all lottery participants for spots at the university that could not be filled yet or have become available again. The grade of your university entrance qualification (HZB) and your wait time do not play a role in the lottery.
