Here’s what happens next after you’ve handed in your documents:

- ‘Complete documents’ means you must submit the following:

- A certificate of your previous examination results, certified by the Examinations Office.
- An enrolment certificate stating which subject semester you are in for German Studies and which semester of your degree programme you are currently in. (For example, if you have changed your subject, the semester numbers may differ).
- Please provide your email address and a mobile phone number so that we can contact you if we have any queries.
How many KP do I need to provide evidence of?
The following must be demonstrated by the end of the

I need another form of identification
In all other cases, you must consult the BAföG officer for the German Studies programme, Prof. Dr Juliana Goschler, during her office hours (see lecturers’ office hours). Please contact Ms Walljahn first. In most cases, it will then no longer be necessary to consult Ms Goschler.
