Enrolment, also called matriculation, is the designation for the student admission process at a university. You can enrol as a doctoral candidate at any time at the University of Rostock, as soon as you have a doctoral subject and a mentor - irrespective of the doctoral phase and the doctoral process.

There is actually no obligation to enrol. The doctoral regulations of the individual faculties do, however, contain different stipulations in this regard.

The application for admission to studies must be distinguished from the application for admission to doctoral studies.
Both applications can be made independently and at any point during the doctoral phase.
We recommend early application for both areas for formal verification of the admission requirements - particularly for doctoral candidates who have completed their previous studies in a university outside Germany.

After successful enrolment, you will receive a confirmation of enrolment ("Immatrikulationsbestätigung"). After receiving this, you must transfer a semester fee of currently € 276.00 (€ 275.00 for PhD students) to a university account. The student secretariat will inform you of the account details.

The semester fee must then always be transferred before the start of a new semester (meaning in January and June).
Please note: Even if you enrol at the end of a semester, you still have to pay the full semester fee for the current semester. The semester fee finances some of the benefits mentioned below (e.g. the semester ticket).
