Prioritisation of applications

It is possible to prioritise applications in the HWR Berlin application portal. To change the prioritisation of applications, you can change their order under “My applications”.

You can move the applications by “drag & drop“:

The application furthest to the left is the application with the highest prioritisation (priority 1). The subsequent applications (to the right) are prioritised 2 and 3:

Attention: Prioritisation on the mobile phone or tablet is from top to bottom! (Top is higher priority)

Please note that only submitted applications (with the status “received“) will be considered in the prioritisation process.

Applications with the status “in preparation” and “withdrawn” will not be considered as they have not been submitted.

If the application deadline for all applications has expired, the prioritisation can no longer be changed.

What are the consequences of the prioritisation I make on S.A.M. Application?

The consequences/effects vary depending on the degree programme.

Master’s application for degree programmes from Departement of Business of Economics.

• Your second and third choice will only be considered if there is no sufficient number of applicants with a first choice in those programmes.

Master’s application for degree programmes from Departement 3, 4 and 5 (Master ISM, MANGO, RöV and IVR)

• The order/prioritisation of applications has no effect on possible admissions. It has an informative character for the processing department in order to estimate the succession procedure for degree programmes with a ranking.

Master’s applications for degree programmes at Berlin Professional School:

• The order/prioritisation of applications has no effect on possible admissions. It has an informative character for the processing department in order to plan the processing of applications in the rolling procedure and to be able to better estimate the succession procedure for degree programmes with a ranking.

Bachelor’s degree programmes that participate in the allocation of study places via DoSV/Hochschulstart.de:

• The order/prioritisation of the application has no influence on the prioritisation of Hochschulstart.de. Please carry out the prioritisation on Hochschulstart.de. The HWR Berlin cannot see how you prioritise on Hochschulstart.de. Please consider the consequences of prioritisation in the DoSV (e.g. applications with a lower priority may be eliminated from the procedure if you have received an offer of admission for the application with a higher priority). Therefore, please check your prioritisation for these degree programmes in the DoSV.
