The respective NC values are recalculated in each year's allocation procedure. We are therefore unable to provide you with any binding information in advance. However, you can take a look at the NC values from the previous year to get a feel for them.
You can find them at on our website.
According to current legislation, the restriction on the number of study places also continues in the higher semesters. The so-called "numerus clausus" therefore also applies to students changing courses, i.e. admission to a higher semester requires not only the approval of the examination board, but also that a free place is available.
Admission to the degree programs of the HSZG is currently not dependent on proof of a pre-study internship.
Proof of health insurance is a prerequisite for enrollment. This proof is provided in the form of a certificate from the respective health insurance company stating that you are insured or exempt from compulsory health insurance.
BAföG recipients who are subject to compulsory health insurance receive a supplement that is roughly equivalent to the student health insurance contribution. Upon admission, applicants receive detailed information about their compulsory health insurance. The non-contributory family insurance ends on the day of exmatriculation.
With the exception of second degree students, direct study at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences is free of charge. Only the legally required fees are payable for each semester. At present, the guest auditor fees amount to 38.35 euros per semester, the fees for a second degree course 300.00 euros per semester. All students must pay a semester contribution (for the student union and the student body) each semester on the basis of the relevant legal provisions. From summer semester 2024, this fee will be EUR 252.80 per semester (incl. semester ticket), plus a one-off fee of EUR 10.00 for the student ID card. Proof of payment of the fee is a mandatory requirement for enrollment.

A waiting semester is the time that elapses between obtaining your university entrance qualification and the start of your studies. A waiting semester lasts six months. For example, if you have traveled or worked for a year after graduating from high school, you will be credited with two waiting semesters.
The following periods are also counted as waiting semesters

Waiting semesters enable prospective students who have not achieved the required NC to take up their desired course of study at a later date.
If you are enrolled at our university, the documents will remain with us and will be added to your files.
If you would like us to send your documents back to you if you are not enrolled, please enclose a stamped envelope with your application documents.
That is possible! If you did not get your place in the first round, you will first receive a rejection letter from us. This will also inform you of your place on the list for the succession procedure.
You don't have to. In our application portal, you can directly enter two degree programs for which you would like to apply. There are then two barcodes on the application generated at the end of the application process, which you must sign and send to us. These represent the two degree programs for which you are applying.
The HSZG wants to be a place where people of all gender identities can study well. For this reason, the HSZG is one of the universities that will change or correct the first name and gender entry in the university's digital registration systems upon application and on the basis of the dgti supplementary ID card.
The dgti supplementary ID card is issued by the German Society for Transidentity and Intersexuality and is only valid in conjunction with an identity card or passport. People can have their self-chosen first name and gender identity entered on the dgti supplementary ID card. You can register in our applicant portal with the data from the dtgi supplementary ID card. Please then contact our staff from the Department of Studies and International Affairs
Yes - Insurance cover under the statutory accident insurance scheme exists for accidents that students suffer in causal connection with their studies at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences. Injuries and damage to health that are directly related to such an accident must be reported to Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences immediately so that the statutory insurance cover applies.
An information sheet on accident insurance and accident reporting is available from the Department of Studies and International Affairs.
The responsible accident insurance provider for the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences is the Saxon Accident Insurance Association, which is also the implementing authority for accident insurance in the Free State of Saxony (PF 42 in 01651 Meißen).

You can use it to pay for your lunch in the canteen or your booked sports course.
"KIA" stands for "cooperative studies with integrated training" and refers to the tried and tested dual study program in Zittau. It has been offered since 1997. Find out more at www.kia-studium.de.
Universities of applied sciences are generally smaller. This makes studying more individual, more personal and therefore often quicker. That it is "easier" is a fallacy. But perhaps one could speak of "more practice-oriented". At the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, an internship semester is integrated into almost all degree courses . Modern universities of applied sciences hardly differ from universities in terms of international contacts either. You can now study almost anything at a university of applied sciences. However, some areas such as medicine, pharmacy, law and teaching are still only offered by universities.
To keep you up to date, we have set up our Corona Info Portal. There you will find the guidelines for university operations and all updates on the corona measures at the HSZG.
