Procedure for applications in the THWS CampusPortal
You discovered your desired degree programme(s) at THWS? In this case, we are looking forward to your application(s)!
Please read about the steps of the application process in our THWS CampusPortal: If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via our contact form.
Please note: For special characteristics for applications outside of Germany please see the information provided on the websites of our International Office (HSIN).
Step 6: Enrolling for your degree programme
Once we have received all data and documents required for enrolment (see Step 5) and after the semester fee payment has been allocated, your application status will change to "Enrolled". Thus, your status will change no earlier than in late August/mid-February, i.e. 4-6 weeks prior to semester start.
Your account letter, which includes your login details for the THWS IT services, will be available for download within the next 48 hours in the THWS CampusPortal under "My Studies -> Study Service -> Requested Reports / Reports" – but no earlier than three weeks before the start of the semester. More Information about this here
If you saved a German address in the online application portal we will now also send your THWS Card by mail. If not, you can pick up your THWS Card from the Department of Student Affairs (HSST) during their opening hours.
If you were previously enrolled at THWS, the validity of your existing account (k-number) will be extended or reactivated. If the account remained continuously valid, your chosen password will also remain valid. If the account was inactive in the meantime, please use the initial login details provided in the account letter.
To log into the THWS CampusPortal, use your new matriculation number as your username (possibly with your old password, otherwise with the new one).
Please note:
- Keep the address used for application up to date at any time, in particular if you change your address at the start of your studies. You can update your address at any time in the THWS CampusPortal.
- The THWS Card we send is not yet valid. It must be validated at one of our validation machines. Please refer to the corresponding page regarding the THWS Card for more information.
