You can be enrolled at any time for the current or the upcoming semester. Admission to doctoral studies does not depend on being enrolled, though. You can, for example, be accepted as a doctoral candidate at the University of Bremen without having to enroll.

If you have not yet received the declaration of acceptance from the doctoral committee, you can still be enrolled for a period of one year or a maximum of two semesters, provided you can submit confirmation from a professor who is prepared to supervise the doctoral project. This enrollment option is valid for a maximum of two semesters. To be enrolled after this period has elapsed, you must be able to submit the final declaration of acceptance by the responsible doctoral committee at the latest at the beginning of the semester (October 1. / April 1).

They belong to the group of academic research assistants and are included in the list of doctoral students according to the matriculation regulations. Therefore, a leave of absence is not possible for doctoral students. An exemption from the semester ticket is possible if you stay outside the area of validity for at least 120 days for study or doctoral purposes. The application for exemption from the semester ticket can be submitted via the moin portal up to two weeks after the start of lectures.
