Possible deadline for accepting Offer and it's next steps
Verfasst: Fr 31. Jul 2026, 14:58
Dear team,
I am international student applying for the bachelor's in Earth System Physics program (English-taught). I have recently been informed that I have been selected for the program in Hochschulestart.de, I am attaching the full notification with this message.
In the status notification, I am told let the university know my decision ''as soon as possible''. Given that it's a restricted program, I understand the need for indicating my decision in Hochschulestart early. However, I have a higher priority University where I got preliminary excluded due to an application error, but I'm still hoping to get an offer letter there.
Therefore, I would prefer to delay my decision for UniHamburg, as I want to see whether I can manage the other one.
So my question is, is there a deadline by which I must make my decision in Hochschulestart? I could not find one, but I assume there must be, and I was hoping the forum can help me.
Also, I found the UniHamburg application process to be very confusing. I did not have to upload or send any documents, and I have no clue when or even if I will be asked to do so. I do not know what step follows after I accept the offer in Hochschulestart. The resources I could find online only guides me towards applying, but not much for what happens once selected. So some guidance and/or resources regarding those would also be appreciated. Please note that I am a bachelor applicant for a English-taught program.
