Data Protection Statement

Implementation of the Hochschulzulassungsverordnung (Directive on the Admission to Universities, HZV) requires the University of Würzburg to collect the data which is collected in the online application form. Completing the fields marked ‘*’ (‘required’) is mandatory; applicants who do not do so will not be able to participate in the online application procedure. The obligation to provide the information in question arises from Article 42 Subarticle 4 Bayerisches Hochschulgesetz (Bavarian Higher Education Act, BayHSchG). The fields not marked ‘*’ (‘required’) should be completed if the applicant is in a position to provide the information in question.

The applicant's personal data will be processed in accordance with the provisions laid down in the Bayerisches Datenschutzgesetz (Bavarian Data Protection Act, BayDSG) as amended from time to time.

If the applicant is admitted to the University, the data held will be transferred to the student management system for the purpose of effecting enrolment.

Irrespective thereof, all of the applicant's data will be deleted from the admissions system after one semester. Data submitted by applicants who participated in the online application procedure but failed to submit their official application documents to the University within the application deadline will be deleted immediately after the application deadline has passed.
All documents submitted by applicants will be shredded six months after the allocation procedure was completed.
