- It can take up to three hours for the access data to be delivered.
Did you already have a PAUL student account that is now inactive? Do not create a new account, contact bewerbung@upb.de.
Search the study programme
By setting filters in the "Studienangebot" in PAUL, you can quickly find the degree programme you are looking for. If you would like to see all degree programmes that are available for you, you can also search without entering search criteria.
Please note:
- When searching, please note the semesters (3rd column) and the notes (5th column).
- If your desired degree programme is not listed, the degree programme is not offered in the current semester or your answers in the "My details"/"Meine Angaben" field are incorrect.
If incorrect answers are saved, you can only change them yourself as long as no application has been submitted. If you only have "open" applications, you can delete them, reset the details and start a new application. Once you have sent applications, you can no longer change the information yourself – please contact bewerbung@upb.de.
Application
Start the application for your desired degree programme. Fill in all sections and make sure you provide correct information.
Depending on the application, few or no documents may be required. Most of the supporting documents are required as part of the enrolment process.
Please note: Once the application has been sent, you can no longer make any corrections. You only have the option of requesting that your application be reset by email(bewerbung@upb.de) within the application deadline (!).
