Enrolment
Yes, enrolment at all three universities is mandatory. After successful application via the University of Potsdam, you will receive a letter of admission and a separate letter informing you which is your main university. After receiving the letter of admission, you will "main enrol" at the HU, FU or UP accordingly. You must then enrol at the other two universities as a so-called "multiple enrollee".
In summary, your enrolment will take place in three steps:
1. you receive the letter of admission and a separate letter telling you which university is your main university.
2. you enrol at your main university
3. you enrol at the other two universities as a multiple enrolment student.
You can find the respective enrolment applications to be filled out on the homepages of the universities:
UP: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/studium/application-enrollment/enrollment-master/master
The enrolment application must be sent by post to the respective student administration offices.

The semester fee must be transferred to the respective university account within the deadline. As a rule, you pay the semester fees at the university at which you are primarily enrolled (main enrolment, see information above). You will receive detailed information as well as the request for payment in the course of the further enrolment process. It is important to pay the fees on time, otherwise you may incur reminder fees or, in the worst case, you may not be enrolled. You will be informed of the deadlines in good time together with the request for payment from the respective university.
The enrolment application is usually structured in such a way that it can apply to all applicants individually. Therefore, you will be asked to provide information that may not apply to you. Please leave the corresponding fields blank. Based on the documents you have submitted, the relevant information will be added for you by the administrative staff in the course of processing.
The application for enrolment must be submitted on time and in full. Additional documents can be submitted to Freie Universität Berlin within one week. Your Bachelor's degree certificate and your exmatriculation certificate can be submitted later at the application office (see contact). In this case, you will only be provisionally enrolled and must submit these missing documents by October 31st at the latest.
