Dates and Deadlines at the Faculty of Protestant Theology

The enrollment deadlines and application deadlines depend on the degree you would like to pursue at the University of Bonn. Admission-free degree programs have different deadlines than those with admission restrictions.

Winter Semester 2023/24

  • Registration period: 04.09. to 16.10.2023

There are usually two examination phases available in the semester in which the module is offered:

You must be registered to sit for an exam – the registration deadline is binding. Otherwise, you can only take the examination in the following semester. You may then have to register again. Please inform yourself.

For Bachelor's and Master's degree programs, the registration for examinations is always done electronically in BASIS. Exceptions for the degree program “Evangelische Theologie” leading towards a church examination or the degree of Magister Theologiae can be found in the general information on examinations.

The registration deadlines for the various examinations are announced by the examination board for each semester.
