If you intend to study at two different universities, you will need to decide which is your main university – where you enrol as a Haupthörer – and which is your second university – where you enrol as a Nebenhörer. If Leipzig is your main university, you pay the semester fee and have the rights of regular students. Please state your decision when applying to study at two different universities.
If your bachelor’s certificate is the only document you are unable to hand in by the beginning of the semester, you do not have to apply to be enrolled at two universities!
If you have been enrolled at our university for at least one semester, you can apply for a leave semester. Since both universities must agree to your leave of absence, please apply for it at both universities.
It is not possible to take a leave of absence in the first semester of study at Leipzig University.
If you decide to stop studying at an additional university, please submit a certificate of exmatriculation from your second university to the Student Office. If you successful completed the degree, please also submit a certified copy of your degree certificate. If you only want to continue your studies at your second university, please exmatriculate from Leipzig University.
