Multiple Enrollment and Enrollment in Two Programs of Study

Students can be enrolled in two degree programs at the same time: either in two degree programs at TU Berlin or in a degree program at TU Berlin and a second degree program at another German university.

However, you can only be enrolled in a second restricted admission degree program, if your enrollment does not prevent other applicants from enrolling in the degree program as their primary first degree. You can enroll in two master's programs at the same time as this does not prevent other students from enrolling for their first degree.

If you are enrolled in two degree programs at the TU Berlin at the same time, this is a Doppelstudium.

If you are enrolled at another university in Berlin or Brandenburg, you can additionally enroll in another degree program at TU Berlin. This is called Mehrfachimmatrikulation (multiple enrollment).

If you are enrolled or would like to enroll in two degree programs at TU Berlin at the same time, it is a so-called Doppelstudium. Please note the possible combinations of study programs (see table above).

If you wish to enroll at the TU Berlin and at another university in Berlin or Brandenburg, then you must specify at which university you are exercising your membership rights. The semester fees are only payable at this university. The university at which you exercise your membership rights and pay the semester amounts at the same time is your main university (Ersthochschule). You will become a Haupthörer*in (degree-seeking student) at your main university.

You can use the multiple enrollment option to enroll in another degree program at the secondary university. However, you can only be enrolled in a second restricted admission degree program, if your enrollment does not prevent other applicants from enrolling in their first degree. You are not required to pay any semester fees to the secondary university, but you must show that you are enrolled at the main university.

Multiple enrollment at TU Berlin:

If you are already enrolled in another degree program at another university in Berlin or Brandenburg as a primary student, you can enroll in another degree program at TU Berlin as part of a multiple enrollment.

However, you must first apply or register in the regular way. Information about applying, registration and enrolling in a TU Berlin degree program is available here.

Only during the enrollment process do you indicate that you wish to be multiple enrolled. Our enrollment checklist provides an overview of all the documents required for enrollment.

You are enrolled at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) or at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin (HU Berlin) in the core subject of a bachelor's degree program with teaching option and have received an assignment to the secondary subject Prevocational Education at the TU Berlin? Then you have to enroll for the secondary subject Prevocational Education at TU Berlin as part of a multiple enrollment.

• Digital Media & Technology bachelor's program (main university FU Berlin)

The bachelor´s program in Digital Media & Technology is run jointly by TU Berlin and Freie Universität Berlin (FU Berlin). This means that students in this program study parallel at both universities and have to enroll at both TU Berlin and FU Berlin. TU Berlin is responsible for the mathematics, computer science and technical components, and FU Berlin for the communication science content. Upon successful completion of the degree, graduates receive a joint certificate from both universities.

If you have been admitted to FU Berlin, it will be your main university and you will be considered a primary student there. You must then enroll in the Digital Media & Technology bachelor's program at TU Berlin as part of a multiple enrollment. Our enrollment checklist for bachelor's programs provides an overview of all the documents required for enrollment - Multiple Enrollment: Digital Media & Technology bachelor's program (main university FU Berlin).
