Dialogue-Oriented Service Procedure (DoSV)

Places on certain degree programmes are allocated via hochschulstart.de in what is called the ‘dialogue-oriented service procedure’ (DoSV).

To do this, you must register with hochschulstart.de in advance, receive an applicant identification number (BID) and an applicant authorization number (BAN) and then apply for your desired degree program in the JMU portal. During the application process with us, you must then enter the BID and BAN from hochschulstart.de. This will link your application in our portal with hoschulstart.de.

The procedure is called ‘dialogue-oriented’ because you, the applicant, will be required to play an active part in the admission procedure - even after you have submitted your application for admission. You can, for example, re-prioritise your applications. Or you can accept an offer of admission.

You can submit online applications for admission to several universities. Your data will then be stored in a central database at hochschulstart.de. It thus becomes possible to coordinate the preferences of applicants and the preferences of universities. The preferences of applicants can immediately be taken into account, and places that remain or become available can immediately be offered to other applicants.

The selection criteria for admission to programmes that are taking part in the dialogue-oriented service procedure do not differ from the selection criteria for admission to other programmes with local admission restrictions.

Information on the rules of coordination can be found at hochschulstart.de
