The University of Konstanz reserves 5% of all available study space (at least one placement) for cases of exceptional personal hardship in programmes with restricted admission (Numerus Clausus) .
What counts as a hardship case?
To be considered a hardship case, applicants must have such pressing health, social and family concerns that, even in consideration of strict criteria, it would be unreasonable for such an applicant to have to wait even one semester for admission.
Examples for reasonable and unreasonable hardship case applications are available in the hardship case guidelines.
