Application for a Higher Academic Semester
If you wish to apply for a higher academic semester in a degree program, it makes no difference to the application process whether you are already studying here (change of major) or are enrolled at another university and wish to transfer to Marburg (change of location). In both cases, the application is submitted online via our student portal, Marvin.
Please note!
Your application can only be considered if the specific semester is actually offered. In degree programs that begin only in the winter semester, courses are offered in the summer semester only in “even” semesters (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.) and, correspondingly, in the winter semester only in “odd” semesters.
As a general rule: For applications to higher academic semesters, you must submit proof that you are eligible to begin your studies in the requested academic semester. This proof can be, for example, a credit transfer notice, a placement test result, or a certificate of enrollment. You can find out what you need in each case, who issues it, and what other requirements you must meet by following the links below.
