Dialog-oriented service procedure (DoSV)
The dialog-oriented service procedure (DoSV) coordinates the allocation of undergraduate degree program placements with locally restricted admissions on a national level. The background behind this is the current multiple occupancy of study placements by applicants applying to several universities. The advantage of the procedure is that as an applicant, you have a central point of contact for all applications submitted to the DoSV – the platform www.hochschulstart.de – and can view their status there at any time.
Further information on the DoSV procedure and the application procedure for DoSV degree programs can be found at www.hochschulstart.de.
Applying to a degree program - whether or not it participates in the dialog-oriented service procedure - should always be submitted directly to Mainz University of Applied Sciences.
To register, enter your personal data and you will then receive an applicant ID (applicant identification number) and a BAN (applicant authentication number) from hochschulstart.de by e-mail. You will then need this applicant ID and the BAN to apply for this degree program at Mainz University of Applied Sciences in the application portal of Mainz University of Applied Sciences. You will then be guided step by step through the application process on the pages of Mainz University of Applied Sciences. Various explanatory texts and help are available for your application. Should you still have any questions, please send them by e-mail to zulassung(at)hs-mainz.de.
You can download the information on participation in the DoSV in the right-hand column.
Please note that multiple registrations at hochschulstart.de are not permitted. Should you have registered more than once, a decision will only be made regarding the applications submitted with the most recent registration. Surplus registrations including all of the related applications will be deleted and will not be considered in the remaining process steps. Deletion cannot be reversed.
A user account is set up for you when registering at hochschulstart.de. Your user account is where the information on all of your applications to the degree programs that participate in the dialog-oriented service procedure comes together. Your applications are reconciled in a database shared by the participating universities. After the allocation process for study places at a university, which is individual to each university, is concluded at the respective participating universities, the offers of admission from different universities are made available to you in your user account. This provides you with an overview of the status of your applications so you can decide which admission offer to accept.
Please note that you can also use the user account you have set up during your registration for applications in later processes. An additional registration would cause a prohibited multipe registration.
