You have passed the aptitude test and have received an offer of admission - we are so glad that you are a part of HfMDK now.
Your personal enrollment date is still to come. On this page, we will provide you with all the necessary information about the enrollment dates, times and what documents you need to bring.

Dates and Times for enrollment
Before we enroll you in person, you need to pay the semester fee and complete the online enrollment.
You have already done both? Well done! You can come to our offices so we can enroll you in person. In August we will inform you via email about the procedure and the appointment options. There will be a sufficient amount of timeslots between the beginning of September and the beginning of October.
What do I need to bring or prepare for enrollment?
Checklist for personal enrollment
- Identification document (passport or identity card)
- printed passport photo (otherwise we cannot issue you a student ID card)
- any missing documents such as certificates, language certificate, etc.
- the HfMDK must have received the electronic registration for health insurance, further information can be found at the bottom of this page.
Where do I have to go?
You will find us at Gervinusstraße 15. Our offices are on the 3rd floor (Ger 315 and 316).
If you are unsure, you can ask at the gate in the main building, where you will be given directions. It is about a 5-minute walk from the main building to Gervinusstraße.
What exactly is electronic health insurance notification?
Anyone starting a new degree program at a state-recognized university in Germany is generally required to have statutory health insurance. Health insurance providers then must inform universities about the student’s insurance status.
This notification is neccessary even if you are insured abroad or if you are privately insured and wish to remain so. (Important: If you wish to stay privately insured, you must apply for an exemption from statutory insurance within 3 months of starting your studies.)
What do I need to do?
To facilitate this exchange of information, you must request a digital insurance notification from a statutory health insurance provider.
By September 1, inform a statutory health insurance provider that you will start a (new) degree program at HfMDK next semester. The insurance provider will then send a digital confirmation to us. We need this confirmation to complete your enrollment.
This also applies if you are already studying with us and are enrolling in a new program.
Do I have to take out new insurance?
Of course not, the choice of how you want to take out health insurance is up to you. You just need to inform a German statutory health insurance company, as only they can send us the electronic notification that we need for your enrollment.
Do I have to contact a specific health insurance company?
No, you are free to choose, the only important thing is that it is a German statutory health insurance company.
Most health insurance companies also offer English language support. If you need contact details, please contact us by e-mail: Studierendensekretariat@orga.hfmdk-frankfurt.de
