How does the allocation process work?
With the exception of the places from the quota for foreign applicants and the quota for professionally qualified persons (trial study), all places available at the University of Jena are allocated via HochschulstartExternal link. This also includes the allocation of study places within the framework of the university selection procedure (German abbreviation 'AdH'). Prior to the procedure explained here, a small number of study places are allocated to special target groups (e.g. applicants for a second undergraduate study programme (3%), hardship cases (2%) etc.) via advance quotas.

All applicants automatically participate in all three quotas.
