Placements in central allocations are allocated according to the #
|
|
following criteria (ordered roughly by their impact on the #
|
|
allocation):
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The priority of the application (1st Choice, etc.)
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
The priority is only used to order the applications in the context #
|
|
of a single applicant. #
|
|
|
|
Therefore the exact numerical values are inconsequential and are #
|
|
not compared between applicants.
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The so called “central priority”
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
Study progress (measured by the number ECTS credits achieved as a #
|
|
percentage of those required for graduation) but not (university) #
|
|
semesters is used as a basis for the calculation. #
|
|
|
|
As an example, bachelor students are expected to have already #
|
|
achieved 90 ECTS points to be assigned a seminar.
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
At this point a number of other factors are also considered, such #
|
|
that the central priority models the “need” for a place as #
|
|
accurately as possible. #
|
|
|
|
In particular the priority will be reduced if the requisite number #
|
|
of courses of the appropriate type (seminar/practical course) were #
|
|
already passed.
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Ratings of applications by course administrators
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you were not allocated any placements this is usually because #
|
|
your central priority was too low. #
|
|
|
|
Instead other applicants with higher central priority, and thus a #
|
|
higher degree of study progress, have received placements.
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
Accordingly you may not have received the placements you wanted #
|
|
because the respective courses were popular among applicants with #
|
|
higher central priority.
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
This method of allocation ensures that graduation is not impeded by #
|
|
missing credits which can only be gained through courses which #
|
|
participate in a central allocation.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
There usually is a process for substitute registrations. #
|
|
|
|
Places that become free after the initial allocation are assigned #
|
|
again on the basis of the existing applications.
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
The criteria for the allocation of placements are the same as for #
|
|
the initial allocation.
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
If you have already applied for the central allocation no further #
|
|
registration or application is necessary to be assigned a substitute #
|
|
registration. #
|
|
|
|
You will be notified automatically if you are assigned additional #
|
|
placements (unless you have actively disabled the notification under #
|
|
“Settings”).
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
To improve your chances of being allocated a placement during the #
|
|
next central allocation, you may try the following:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Apply for as many courses as possible
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
Of two applicants with the same central priority, the one who #
|
|
applied for more courses has a significantly better chance of #
|
|
being allocated a placement.
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Continue your studies normally
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
Through achieving additional credits your degree of study progress #
|
|
will improve and thus your central priority will, too.
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Write better applications
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
Having an application rated well can ameliorate a considerable #
|
|
difference in central priority. #
|
|
|
|
If your applications are rated well by course administrators your #
|
|
chances to be allocated a placement improve.
