How long does it take to hear back after sending the Studienplatzannahme (acceptance of the study place)?
There is no fixed timeframe. How quickly you hear back after sending your Studienplatzannahme (your formal acceptance of the study place) varies from university to university. Usually you will receive a confirmation or information about the next steps, such as enrolment (Immatrikulation).
What you can do meanwhile
- Keep proof that you sent the acceptance (upload confirmation, e-mail or postal receipt).
- Check your applicant portal and your inbox, including the spam folder, regularly.
- Look at the admission letter for any deadlines that apply to you.
If you hear nothing for a long time
Contact the university's Studierendensekretariat (student registry / admissions office) directly and ask about the status of your acceptance.
Caveat: if your visa application depends on a confirmation from the university, contact them early rather than waiting.
