Successor Day at the EUF: Chance for free study places!
On August 28, 2025, the European University of Flensburg (EUF) will open its application portal for those interested in securing a place in one of the bachelor's degree programs. All potential applicants should save this date because the opportunity to apply for vacant study places could be the decisive opportunity for their academic career. President Prof. Dr. Christiane Hipp emphasizes that the successor day is particularly important for those who had not previously been accepted for their desired course of study or were unsure about their choice of course.
On the said day, applicants can submit their documents to the EUF application portal between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The available courses include:
- Bildungswissenschaften (außer Sachunterricht und Textil/Mode)
- European Cultures and Society
- International Management (Vertiefung Spanisch)
- Sozialwissenschaften: Social and Political Change
To apply, those interested only need their high school diploma. Some programs require additional qualifications. Applicants can expect to receive a letter of admission after the replacement day, which contains information on other documents required for enrollment.
Application deadlines and enrollment
Accepting your study place on time is essential. Applicants have until the beginning of the introductory week on September 8th to submit all required documents. In addition, applications for the majority of master's programs at the EUF are still possible until August 31, 2025. This provides additional scope for anyone interested in advanced study programs.
The application process can cause stress for many people, as rejections are often disappointing and acceptances can cause confusion. Many applicants decide to apply for several courses at the same time, which can bring additional challenges due to different deadlines and notifications, such as: studienwahl.de explained.
Additional information and options
Applicants should also remain reachable after the application deadline in order to be able to meet deadlines for accepting a study place if necessary. The nationwide study place exchange can be found at hochschulkompass.de, provides a valuable resource for those who have not received a commitment by the time the primary and replacement processes are completed. Available study places for the winter semester will be listed there from September 1st.
The EUF thus opens up hopeful prospects for prospective students who want to take advantage of their chances of getting a place at university. Whether through the successor day or other initiatives, the university does everything it can to offer qualified applicants an opportunity to begin their academic training.
