The German Rectors' Conference's Study Place Marketplace, commonly known as "Studienplatzbörse," is an online platform that offers a lifeline to students seeking to start their studies in the winter semester. As of August 1, this resource is available for those who missed the regular application deadlines or are looking to fill study places that have not been taken up by others at participating universities.

To use the marketplace, applicants must meet the necessary university entrance qualifications recognized in Germany, such as the Abitur or equivalent foreign certificates. They must then create an account on the platform, providing personal data, educational background, and qualification documents.

Once registered, users can browse multiple universities' available study places in real-time. The marketplace offers a variety of study programs, including those with admission restrictions. Applicants can apply directly through the platform, with their applications forwarded to the respective institutions for final selection.

The deadline for applying at short notice for a place of study in various fields on the marketplace is October 31. Universities publish their offers for the winter semester on the study place marketplace after completing regular and late application procedures. Interested parties can use search and filter options on the marketplace to find the desired study program more quickly. These options can be used to narrow down the offer according to subject, admission requirements, university type, or location.

If accepted, applicants must follow enrollment instructions from the university within the specified timeframe to secure their place. It is essential to note that each university may have specific admission requirements even for last-minute applicants, including prerequisites for the chosen program or language certificates.

Prospective applicants are advised to check the official German Rectors' Conference website or the specific study place marketplace portal for current instructions and application timelines, as these can vary yearly. By leveraging the Study Place Marketplace, students have a chance to begin their academic journey even if they missed the initial application deadlines.
