How do I apply for PT?

  • Certificate of good conduct
  • Self-disclosure
  • Medical certificate
  • Contract with Gesundheitsschulen Südwest GmbH

These documents must not be older than three months at the time of enrollment. It is sufficient if these documents are requested/completed after receipt of the letter of admission and submitted with the enrollment. Together with the offer of admission, we will send you the relevant forms for the medical certificate, information on how to apply for the certificate of good conduct and the contract with Gesundheitsschulen Südwest GmbH.

This is how the application works:

  1. Register at www.hochschulstart.de

  6. You can interrupt your application at any time and resume it later if, for example, you need to research additional information. Your previous details will be retained.
  7. You can only edit the application and the associated information until you finally submit it by clicking on "Submit application". After that, changes can only be made after withdrawing the application and the application will not be processed by the university until it is resubmitted.
