There is no fixed application deadline: admission is rolling, and on-site programmes start in the winter semester. No programme is taught in English. Most DIPLOMA students study by distance learning, which generally does not qualify for a German student visa; for a visa, choose one of the full-time on-site programmes in Bad Sooden-Allendorf or Leipzig.
