Step 1: Admission

This means that you must first submit an application for a higher semester for a semester corresponding to your academic performance. Individual recognition of achievements outside of an admission procedure is not possible, as they are not valid for other educational institutions anyway. For the admission procedure, we would like to refer you to the central pages of Freie Universität Berlin. Here you will find the relevant information on application and admission as well as the relevant forms. Admission is only possible for the semester that coincides with the current semester. This means that in the summer semester admission is only possible for the 2nd/4th/6th/8th semester and in the winter semester only for the 3rd/5th/7th semester.

Applications must only be sent to the Central Admissions Office of Freie Universität Berlin. Do not send any documents to the School of Veterinary Medicine at Freie Universität Berlin, please.

Step 2: Assessment of academic achievements to lift the reservation of admission

Once you have been granted admission by the Admissions Office in the online admission procedure, you will receive a written confirmation with detailed information in the next few days. In this letter, you will be asked to lift the reservation of admission. To do so, please send an informal application by e-mail to the Chair of the Committee for the Veterinary Preliminary Examination in Berlin, Prof. Dr. Mahtab Bahramsoltani. In addition to the scanned first page of the letter of admission, you will also need the confirmed transcript of records of your successfully completed coursework.

Students from domestic educational institutions receive these directly from the study and examination offices; students from Szent István University apply for the transcript of records to be sent directly to the student secretariat there, which forwards the transcript of records directly to the chairman of the committee for the preliminary veterinary examination in Berlin.

The chair of the examination board will check the documents submitted and decide on the semester classification. You will receive the placement decision by email in a timely manner.

Step 3: Lifting the reservation of approval

Please send the letter of recognition for the relevant semester together with the other required documents to the Admissions Office so that you can finally enrol.
