The selection procedure at the Faculty of Biology and the application to the International Office are two independent processes, with different application deadlines. The International Office reviews the qualifications obtained abroad in order to certify whether the applicant is eligible to study at LMU Munich. The Faculty of Biology assesses the aptitude of the student and subsequently decides on the admission to the master’s program.

The application deadline for the master’s program starting in the winter semester 2024/25 is February 28, 2024, whereas the application deadline for general admission to the LMU Munich is July 15, 2024. As an international student, you could in principle wait to submit your application for general admission to the university until you passed the entrance exam, but you can already look into the documents that you will need.

You can find more information about the application for general admission to the LMU Munich on the admission website of the International Office. Please note that the International Office requires certified copies of all transcripts and certificates and its own application form to be filled out. In the application form for the International Office, you can fill out that you applied for the master’s program in Molecular and Cellular Biology (you do NOT yet have to add a letter of acceptance for the master’s program).
