What does open admission/restricted admission mean?

• There is an unlimited number of places in open-admission study programmes. If you fulfil the admission requirements, you can usually be sure that you will get a study place.
• In study programmes with restricted admission, there is a limited number of places. As these programmes receive more applications than there are places, we have to conduct a selection procedure. The allocation of study places in the selection procedure is regulated by statutory quotas and is based on the overall grade of the university entrance qualification.
